The purpose of this exploratory, quantitative study was to assess the ability of the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) to predict students' career academy selections and academic success. The aim of the study was on maximizing the academic experiences of students enrolled in a culinary arts academy, health careers academy, law academy, and performing arts academy, by linking their career interests, as identified on the SII, to compatible career academy pathways. The study was undertaken to understand how career interest inventories could be used to direct high school students into compatible career academies and predict their academic performance (i.e., GPA).

520 $a The purpose of this exploratory, quantitative study was to assess the ability of the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) to predict students' career academy selections and academic success. The aim of the study was on maximizing the academic experiences of students enrolled in a culinary arts academy, health careers academy, law academy, and performing arts academy, by linking their career interests, as identified on the SII, to compatible career academy pathways. The study was undertaken to understand how career interest inventories could be used to direct high school students into compatible career academies and predict their academic performance (i.e., GPA).
520 $a The conceptual framework undergirding the study was Holland's (1997) theory of vocational personalities and work environments. Holland posited that most people are of at least one of six personality-types correlated with the same work environment. The six personality-types and work environments are: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. Holland asserted that people whose personality types correspond to their work environments would be satisfied and thrive in the work environment. Research questions were derived from Holland's personality-types and work environments related to students' SII career interests, career academy selections, and grade point averages. Data gathered from students' responses to a computer-generated SII and from students' grade point averages found in the school data management system were analyzed using inferential statistics. The findings were organized and presented according to the study's research questions.
520 $a The health careers academy students were found to have the highest number of SII career interests correlated with their career academy selections and the highest-grade point averages. Furthermore, a positive relationship was found between students' SII career interests and career academy selections; and a significant difference was found between students' career interests identified on the SII and mean GPA.
