SWOT analysis matrix, with its four elements in a 2×2 matrix.

A personal SWOT analysis can help students to think about there future, from how they want to change the world to picking a major. This unit is a good chance to help students think about their strengths and the opportunity college and communities offer them.

In thinking about college majors, students often have incorrect ideas about how majors relate to jobs. They also don’t realize that they can take advantage of many opportunities for leadership, service and developing specific skills that Lehman offers.

Keep in mind that the goal of “weaknesses” is not to make people feel bad, but to identify areas for growth.

Here’s a good document describing the process.
