College Students
Career Coaching can help you understand yourself, choose a college major and make a career choice. It can also help you clarify career goals, career direction, and methods for achieving those goals. As you begin to develop a better understanding of yourself you will also improve your self-confidence
College students with career plans:
-
Are less likely to make costly changes in their college education plans and are more likely to graduate on time.
-
Are more confident and satisfied with their choice of occupation and major area of study.
-
Achieve higher college grades because their decisions about their educational path are compatible with and based on their personal interests, values, and abilities.
