Career Counseling The
Center for New Directions provides counseling and guidance
to individuals 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.
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.
