Career & Advising Services Mission

To advise and empower individuals as they explore educational and career options and develop skills to succeed in their career goals.


Career & Advising Services Focus

The primary focus of Career & Advising Services is to serve prospective students, current LCSC students and alumni. The following information pertains to those services that are offered to our academic community. For non-students or alumni of other institutions, please refer to Services to Non-Students.

Career Exploration

CAS provides a wide array of opportunities for students who are undecided about their major, their career choice, or want to confirm the choice they have made. A few of these opportunities are provided through the following avenues: 

  • Career Exploration class (offered fall & spring semester)
  • DISCOVER program (a computer-based exploration program)
  • CAS Library materials covering a wide variety of exploration topics
  • Individual career assessment and counseling

Advising

The individual advising process establishes a collaborative relationship between student and advisor in which the student feels a sense of connection, support, and guidance. Effective advising is developmental and essential to a meaningful and successful educational experience. CAS has oversight responsibility for academic advising on the LCSC campus. As such, we provide:

  • Individual advising of all Undeclared students
  • Student Success programs for conditional or college re-entry
  • STAR - Student Advising & Registration events throughout the year

Job Search

CAS offers supportive services for students as they search for employment. From resume critique to placement bulletins, we provide opportunities for students to polish skills, learn job search techniques and to acquire employment. As follows are a few examples:

  • Opportunities to practice interviewing skills through Mock Interviews
  • Prepare for the work world with Social and Interview Meal Etiquette opportunities
  • Individual resume critiques and job search consultation with counselors
  • Job Match program and Work Study position listings (assisting students with finding work while in school)
  • Online placement bulletin
  • Credential files for LCSC graduates
  • CAS Library resources in all facets of the job search

Part of a student's career development may include exploration and potential entrance into an advanced education program. CAS offers the following services that will assist students in their search for the right graduate school:

  • Graduate School Seminar (offered during fall semester)
  • Information on graduate school entrance exams
  • CAS Library resources on selection of and applying to graduate school
