Identify your personal strengths and even a potential major through career counseling assessment inventories including the Vita Navis Super Strong Assessment.

Career Counseling and Planning

We provide career counseling sessions to assist you through your career development process, which may include assistance with choosing a specific career field of interest or major, resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills (mock interviews), job search strategies, and exploring graduate schools (test dates and applications).
