Get to know Phil Harrington, founder of Kuder, in this video detailing his personal reason for starting the company. You’ll hear the story behind acquiring the Kuder assessments, the key lessons learned along the way, and what he’s most proud of over the last 25 years.

A lot of times, students or their parents think they know what they want their child to pursue, but it's not necessarily what the child is innately drawn to or passionate about. It can be really difficult for counselors to have that conversation with a parent, but when you have the Kuder assessment results right in front of you to validate the child's true interests, it makes their job much easier.
