Counseling Services
The Student Service Department provides counseling services for prospective and currently enrolled students. Individual counseling sessions are available, test scores are explained and other information is provided to assist students in their decision-making. Student Services assist students in exploring career options in order to make appropriate workforce training choices. The primary focus of counseling is to help individuals become more aware of their interests, abilities, personal and social behaviors, values and work preferences as they relate to career choices. After the student makes a program selection, the Student Service staff reviews the policies and procedures with the student during an orientation session.
