Choosing a Career/Program
Career Planning
Career planning is important for academic success and career satisfaction. Career planning will help you assess your skills, values, interests and experiences and match your outcomes with appropriate careers. Student Development Center advisors and counselors are available to assist you with career exploration and planning. The Career and Employment Center (CEC) at the Truax Campus, located in room 147, is a comprehensive source for self-assessment, career exploration, career information, job search and employment strategies.
