Refer a student for services

To make good referrals, it is important to understand the nature of the services provided at the Career Development Center.  The Career Development Center can help a student in all stages of the career planning and decision-making process.  However, the assistance provided by career counselors is different from that provided by academic advisors. 

Career counselors can help a student choose among educational and occupational options.  Such career decisions may involve self-assessment activities and identifying resources that are useful in the decision-making process. 

Career counselors are likely to be more useful in helping the student look at the big picture of his/her career, while an academic advisor would probably be more effective in helping the student select specific courses to achieve career goals and meet academic requirements.

There are two referral options:

1) You may refer a student to make use of drop-in services at the Career Development Center at the student's convenience.

2) You may refer a student who has more complex needs to individual counseling.  Students may stop by or contact the Career Development Center to schedule a weekly individual counseling appointment.
