Find Your Fit with NICHE Mindset – Step 1: Self-Assessment Discover what makes you unique — your strengths, interests, personality, and the environments where you thrive. This interactive, student-friendly course helps you explore who you are and how you work best through the NICHE Framework: Natural Talents, Interests, Characteristics, Heart, and Environment. Each short section includes a mix of videos, slides, and fillable workbook pages designed to help you reflect, connect ideas, and build confidence in your future direction. You’ll follow along with examples from five relatable students — the NICHE Core 5 — as they share their real-world reflections about school, work, and life. You’ll begin by learning how to use the NICHE Framework, then move through each facet step by step: • Natural Talents: What comes naturally to you? • Interests: What topics keep you curious? • Characteristics: What makes your personality stand out? • Heart: What causes or goals matter most to you? • Environment: What kinds of spaces and people help you do your best work? Throughout the course, you’ll complete a fillable Self-Assessment Workbook that becomes your personal NICHE Profile. This is a snapshot of your unique strengths and preferences. It’s something you can share with teachers, counselors, mentors, or even include in portfolios, applications, or interviews. By the end of Step 1, you’ll have a deeper understanding of yourself and a clear foundation for Step 2: World of Work Alignment. ✨ Takeaway: This course isn’t about labeling yourself — it’s about discovering patterns that help you make better choices, study smarter, and plan your next steps with confidence.
