Career Counseling

Choosing a career is not easy, but we can help you focus on your short- and long-term career goals. Learn how to create SMART goals and do simple, everyday steps to help you move forward with your career goals. Career exploration and development is best pursued by making an appointment with a member of our team or enrolling in CSS 109 (CSS 109 meets the first quarter experience degree requirement).   

Career Counseling includes the following:

  • Career and academic exploration      
  • Exploring occupations 
  • Career assessment 
  • Career preparation  

  ***If you need additional support with job search or resume/cover letter, please contact WorkSource: 360-416-3600 or via email: info@NWC-Connect.org ***
