Career Exploration

The Career Center has the CHOICES career research software as well as several other career assessments available for those students who want to explore their options. These assessments provide immediate feedback that the student can utilize in their career decision making.

Besides assessments, the Career Center links students with career development workshops, job fairs, on campus recruitment and opportunities for internships and cooperative work assignments. A list of volunteer and service learning opportunities may also provide connections for career exploration.
