Career Counseling
Career counseling is offered to assist students in identifying the steps in their career development and exploration. Counselors at Mental Health Services help students manage the concerns and stress associated with making career decisions, address personal issues that may contribute to decision-making difficulties, and utilize career assessment and resources more effectively.
Career Exploration
Utilizing career resources effectively is an important step in career exploration. Our counselors can help you identify career resources that best help you make informed career decisions. If you would like to get a head start on the exploration process, check out the resource Focus 2 Online Career Self-Assessment and Planning Program.
