Who needs Career Counseling?
Since career development is a lifelong process, Career Counseling is appropriate for anyone, students and professionals of all ages and stages of development. The earlier you get started making intentional decisions about your future, the better prepared you will be to realize your potential and fulfill your dreams.
Career development is a lifelong search and discovery process that begins when you are born. Among the factors that influence your career development are your interests, values, beliefs, background, abilities, personality and circumstances. Career Counseling is a process that will increase your self-awareness to better know and understand yourself, along with the world around you and the global economy to recognize your educational, career and lifelong options to make wise and informed decisions.
Career development is an ongoing lifelong process as you evolve as a person and professional (both during your years as a studying and after you graduate). Change is a constant throughout life. People will come and go. Situations will change. You will change. Thus you will continually have to make career and life decisions. The goal of Career Counseling is to not only help you make the decisions you need to make now, but to give you the knowledge and skills you need to make wise future career and life decisions.
