Career Counseling

Unsure of career goals? Thinking of changing your major but not sure what major to choose, or what career options are available with the major you’ve chosen? Do you need to learn how to access and use career information, i.e. kinds of jobs, salaries, and educational requirements? Student Career Counseling can help. It’s also useful if you’re considering a career change or are uncertain about the next steps in your career.

Career & Counseling Services at Delaware County Community College offers free Student Career Counseling for currently attending students. Our trained counselors can guide you step-by-step in making decisions to help clarify your goals, and guide you through the process of making decisions about your education and your career. In addition, our workshops, information sessions and other resources can give you career direction, whether you’re just starting out or modifying your professional focus. Student Career Counseling is available in-person or virtually.
