Welcome Lamar Parents

We here at NexTest help high school and college students gain a competitive advantage in the real world. We do this by helping them discover their unique professional wirings at an early age through data-driven assessments.

We’ve worked with over 1,000 students, and if there’s anything we’ve learned to this point, it’s this: when it comes to career planning, especially for high school students,   you have to speak their language for it to be received at all. For better or worse, we’ve learned to speak Gen Z language and have become very effective at helping students know what’s next.

But, don’t just take our word for it. Hear from these Lamar parents instead:

We couldn’t be more grateful for the guidance Trey provided our son. He now sees the opportunities available for students less interested in attending a 4-year college. Trey helped him see what he’s wired for by assessing his strengths and needs.

The Birkman could not have pinged my daughter any better. We feel really good about the major she’s chosen, which Trey’s program helped provide needed confirmation on. I’ve told so many people about the Birkman!

Having the personalized time with Trey to review the results gave my daughter the confidence to choose the right path in the college process. I highly recommend students taking the Birkman before college! This was a fantastic experience for our family!

When my daughter started working with Trey as a Senior in high school, she was thinking something more in the medical field. Currently, she’s majoring in accounting- which Trey’s program helped her decide on. Not only is she genuinely enjoying it, she’s great at it. Can’t recommend Trey enough!

My son already had a good idea of a college major and career path he wanted to follow. We are glad we decided to do Trey’s program anyways. The results of the assessment gave us confidence that our son was on the right track!

Our family strongly recommends Trey and his program. His commitment to finding the strengths of young people and giving them confidence and direction based on those strengths is a gift. His charisma is infectious!

  • Good. You should be skeptical of personality tests or any assessment that claims to be a "crystal ball" for life direction. Though we believe our program is a powerful tool, it isn't what provides meaning to work. It's simply a starting point for us to help your son or daughter find work they will love and excel in.

  • We still STRONGLY encourage students to participate. Our expertise is learning what new jobs are available and best suited to needs. So, even if your senior knows what field they are interested in, working with us will help solidify their plan, as well as learn new opportunities in their chosen field.

  • Once the group sessions are completed, we will have details on how to continue working with us if needed.
