The Career Development Center offers several options to assist students in choosing a career field. Selecting a career appropriate to each individual is one of the most important decisions a student will make. It is the foundation of a lifetime that will make a difference in everything you do, how you live, and how happy you will be. The following career and job preparation services are presently available.

This program involves a series of three assessments based on work-related values, interests and personality types. Following the tests a counselor-facilitated interpretation session is scheduled to help you understand the assessment results, to encourage you to do additional career research, and offer advice on planning and goal setting. The fee for this program is $25 for students or $35 for non-students. For more information contact Elaine Hogue at 727-712-5209.
