Career Counseling

---

Career counseling is a process that assists individuals in gaining self-understanding, obtaining knowledge about the world of work, and integrating information about oneself and careers. Counselors utilize assessments to gain information and determine career needs. Counseling may include teaching decision making, research, and job skills; helping develop a career plan; and providing meaningful resources.
