Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions students will ever make. Counseling Services offers career planning assistance to those having difficulty choosing a career.
A staff of professional counselors is available to all enrolled and prospective students to help them achieve life and career goals. Before individuals can intelligently make career decisions, they should evaluate their abilities, interests, needs and potential. They then should explore the world of work to determine what occupations best satisfy their own interests, personalities and objectives. Counselors provide individual and group career counseling opportunities for students. Various interest inventories, aptitude tests and other career planning instruments, including computerized career guidance and occupational information systems, are available to assist individuals and groups in the career planning process.
Career Resource Centers are located in Counseling Services offices on both the Airport and Beltline campuses and provide extensive information about the many careers available in toady's changing world of work. College catalogs are also available.
The counselors also assist students in such academically related areas as probation counseling; change of academic major, academic fresh start and students with undecided majors. Workshops include test taking, study skills, time management, stress reduction, values clarification, career planning and test-anxiety management.
A full array of services are available to enrolled and prospective students as well as to alumni. Services are also available to local employers on a free or cost basis, depending on the scope and type of service provided.
Interested individuals should make appointments in advance to see a counselor or to use the Career Resource Centers. Every effort is made to accommodate walk-ins.
