• What is the Top Competency section?
  
  This information comes from the Educational Strategy module. These sections of the student's interest/knowledge that are most important to the career that they have declared. If this section is blank, that means the student has not yet finished the assessment test for the career that they have declared. Once the assessment test is complete, the top competencies will be a better indicator of their alignment with their declared career.
