Step 1: Finding Out About Yourself

We highly recommend taking advantage of career counseling to help you figure out who you are and what you want out of your education, career, and life.

First: Sign up for a Career Goals Workshop. Just click on the burgundy button to the right.

Fill out the Informed Consent. (Just above Career Goals Workshop button).
Watch your email for further information.

Second: If you're still undecided sign up for one or more of our other career assessments through a one-on-one career counseling appointment. Participating in at least two will give you sufficient information for something as important as making a career choice.

Distance Career Appointments

We have Telemental Health trained and certified counselors available, which most individuals say is more convenient and almost just like being there. This means your appointment will take place over Zoom Pro, a secure video-conferencing service. You can expect the same quality service from our staff that you would get from an in-person appointment!

On Your Own Short Career Quizzes

The above assessments include career counseling with a trained professional which cannot be replaced by Internet tools. However, doing some thinking about yourself and your future can be guided by the following tools.
