CAREER COUNSELING & PLACEMENT RECORDS

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

CAREER COUNSELING:

Career counseling is a lifelong process. There are a number of factors that influence career
development, including students’ interests, abilities, values, personality, background, and
circumstances. Career Counseling is a process that will help students to know and
understand themselves and the world of work in order to make career, educational, and life
decisions. Career counseling is more than just choosing a specialization or a job. It really is
a lifelong process, meaning that throughout a person’s life they will change, situations will
change, and they will continually have to make career and life decisions. The goal of Career
Counseling, therefore, is to not only help students make the decisions they need to make
now, but also to give them the knowledge and skills they need to make future career and
life decisions.
