Frequently Asked Questions
Q. When should my son or daughter start visiting Career Services?
A. We recommend that students visit Career Services early on in their education. Each decision about your child's career plan is important and we are here to prepare then with the knowledge so that they can make wise career choices.
Q. What direction can you give my child when choosing a major?
A. Career Services has an assessment software program called Discover. The concept is simple. Discover offers guidance and information to help students make these important career and educational decisions. They take the career inventories (there are no right or wrong answers), explore the career areas that Discover suggests, then are able to read about the training required for that career.

A. Each student will have a different timeline in preparing for their future, but we have prepared a career planning checklist that is available to students to review.
It is located under student services.
Q. Who does my child contact for employment during the school year?
A. Although Career Services specializes in full-time professional work, we also assist students with part-time off campus work.
