Celebrating 85 Years of Kuder Career Assessments

Our History

The name Kuder has been synonymous with reliable, evidence-based career guidance solutions across populations throughout the world for many years. Kuder is the surname of Dr. Frederic Kuder (1904–2000), a pioneer in vocational guidance. His Kuder Preference Record, which dates back to 1938, was completed by more than one million people worldwide and was one of the most-used career readiness instruments in schools and colleges.

At the age of 95, Dr. Kuder approved the transfer of his interest inventories from McGraw-Hill to National Career Assessment Services, Inc. Our partners soon began referring to us as “The Kuder People,” and we officially changed our name to Kuder, Inc. in 2007.

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the Kuder assessments and we’re celebrating the history of career guidance that led to this point. We’re proud to continue Dr. Kuder’s legacy of research and guidance – reaching over 165 million individuals worldwide.
