Career Counseling
The purpose of this service is to guide students through the career-decision making process by:
- Enhancing their knowledge, individual interests, skills, values, and standard of living.
- Enhancing their knowledge about diverse careers, and current job market trends.
- Offering assessment testing, and other resources that will help you make an informed decision about your career.
NEW! We now offer FOCUS- a self-paced, on-line career guidance tool used to assist students in self-assessment and career exploration. Users of FOCUS learn to make more realistic decisions about their goals and plans, how to self-manage their careers and the importance of adaptability in these times of change.
