Career Development

The Career Development component of the
Student Development Center helps to foster
career exploration and decision-making
processes to help individuals achieve their
maximum educational and career potential under
a holistic life-span perspective. The goal of the
Career Development component is to offer a
process that helps bring individuals to a decision
regarding academic major or career choice.

The Career Counselor encourages students to
utilize the resources available in the Student
Development Center. The Center uses a
structured process which consists of:

DISCOVER, a computer-based career planning program used to help students learn more about themselves, careers, educational choices, financial aid and transfer institutions.
Practical activities to assist students in clarifying and defining their goals and interests.
Detailed job descriptions
Required training for occupations
Employment market outlook
National Salaries
Personality/Career Assessments
Interviews
Inventories

The Career Development Center offers an individualized planning process; in addition, an
array of information is available about students' interests, abilities, experience and values, and
how these fit in a step-by-step approach to planning a career.
