Educational
Counseling
Educational
Counseling helps people prepare for, enter, and successfully
complete a degree program. This may include getting ready
for college by refreshing up on math or English skills,
sharpening study or test taking skills, taking placement
tests, entering a GED program, filling out admissions and
financial aid applications, etc. Educational Counseling may
also include handling obstacles that may surface along the
way, such as child care, transportation, difficulties
encountered in class, etc.
Career
Counseling
The PTEC - Center for
New Directions provides career guidance and counseling to
individuals in transition to help them recognize their
abilities and interests, set goals, solve problems, and find
a positive life direction. The Center emphasizes
self-assessment and personal decision-making when providing
career counseling. Career counselors use tools such as the
Self Directed Search, the Career Information System, and the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to help individuals match their
values, interests, and skills with careers choices.
