Counseling, Advisement and Career Planning
Full-time professional counselors are available to assist students in the decision-making process regarding career and academic planning and personal choices. Academic Advisors in the Counseling Office can assist students in choosing appropriate coursework to achieve their academic and career goals. Counseling services are provided to anyone interested in programs at St. Petersburg College.
Students are encouraged to use a variety of career exploration opportunities available through the Counseling Offices, College libraries, Career Development Centers, and Career and Life Planning courses. The Career Development Centers offer an excellent computerized approach to career exploration. In addition, the career research materials, available in hard copy and through the Internet, contain information on qualifications needed for careers including the educational preparation required for employment, salaries, advancement possibilities, institutions offering specialized training for varied careers, catalogs from colleges and technical schools, and career descriptions. Individual career counseling by counselors and the Collegewide Coordinator of the Career Development Center is also available. The Career Exploration Program, a six- to eight-hour process, includes career orientation, testing and interpretation with follow-up available through the Counseling and Career Development Center departments. This program is available to students, staff and the public. The fee for career assessment testing is $25 for SPC students, and $35 for non-students.
