Career consulting appointments are collaborative sessions designed to help you explore career possibilities. Our career consultants provide guidance and support on topics such as: 

• Exploring your interests, values, skills and personality.
• Selecting or changing a career direction.
• Choosing a major or area of study aligned with your goals.
• Gaining meaningful volunteer or work experience.
• Identifying jobs and employers of potential interest to you.

What to Expect 

Career development is an ongoing process that may involve several meetings over time. During your appointments, you and the career consultant will collaborate to explore your goals and identify action items. You'll then work on these steps between meetings to continue your progress. Career assessments may be introduced as an option.

• Attend an initial appointment (45 minutes).
• Follow through on identified action items and next steps in your research.
• Complete optional career assessments (approximately 30 minutes).
• Attend a follow-up session if you get stuck in your career research and decision-making, or need to debrief an assessment (45 minutes).
