Career Counseling
Students who wish to gain more information about themselves in relation to potential career are invited to schedule an appointment for assessment. Once interest and personality inventories have been completed, an evaluation is provided by a counselor, and students can begin to make appropriate educational and career plans. Contact us today to get started on a career assessment or to schedule a career appointment!
Career Resources:
Career Coach: an online tool that assists students with discovering majors and in-demand careers and education based on a student’s interests.
Strong Interest Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): professional assessments that counselors can give to students in order to further explore personal interests and personalities, and how they relate to career choices and career planning.
Transfer Counseling
Over half the students at CCAC plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities to continue their education. Students should meet with a counselor to identify the college they plan to attend after CCAC, and the major they intend to pursue. Counselors assist students by helping select courses that are transferable to four-year colleges and universities. CCAC has articulation agreements with a variety of institutions to ensure the transferability of CCAC courses. Click here to learn more!

Some issues may include work/life balance struggles, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear of failure, relationship conflict, feeling overwhelmed, and other issues that may impact mental health and well-being.
