Career Coaching

Students can also sign up to work with a professional Career Development Specialist by making an appointment. Career Coaching is designed to assist those students who are looking for a deeper level of assistance including:

  • Helping decide between career fields or majors.
  • Assistance with a job search - often after applying to several jobs unsuccessfully.
  • Identifying and developing personal talents into strengths and how to leverage them in a job search.

Career Coaching may be completed in one session or may involve multiple sessions - either way the Career Development Specialist is available to you until you have achieved your goal.
