Career Mapping
Career Mapping will guide you into doing what you want with your life -- rather than just drifting into a job. Generally, career mapping is based on your skills and interests, career possibilities, and job trends. Once you have chosen a career, think strategically about the steps to accomplish your goal. Understanding and accomplishing your career goal will be a lot easier if you create a CAREER MAP. A career map determines your skills and interests, what career best suits your talents, and what skills and training you need for your chosen career which the Student Counseling Office can assist you. Private & Group Counseling The Student Counseling Office assist students, staff, and faculty with personal, family, educational, mental health, and career decisions and problems. Our duties depend on the individuals we serve and on the settings in which we work. We advocate for students and work with other individuals and organizations to promote the academic, career, and personal and social development of LCB students. We help students evaluate their abilities, interests, talents, and personality characteristics in order to develop realistic academic and career goals. The office uses interviews, counseling sessions, tests, or other methods in evaluating and advising students. The Student Counseling Office help LCB students, staff and faculty understand and deal with social, behavioral, and personal problems. We emphasize preventive and developmental counseling to provide everyone with the life skills needed to deal with problems before they occur and to enhance their personal, social, and academic growth. However, our special services are outsourced to various agencies. All counseling sessions are kept confidential. Job Search Skills Work involves solving problems, whether about people, data, or things. Employers hire students who have expertise in chosen academic areas and who have professional interpersonal and communication skills. Employers hire students who are responsible and mature, motivated and enthusiastic, creative, adaptable, trainable, and likable. To get the job you must prove that you possess requisite skills and appropriate personal attributes; to keep the job and move forward in your career you must continue to demonstrate these same qualities in an increasingly sophisticated and polished manner. Also, job information and resources are available. The more you practice, the better you get, and assistance is available in the Student Counseling Office. Academic Planning The Student Counseling Office assists LCB students with academic planning. We discuss information about educational options, requirements, and policies and procedures that are provided to help each student plan an educational program that is consistent with his or her individual needs, abilities and goals. Emergency Services The Student Counseling Office provide resources for emergency situations that may hinder LCB students, staff and faculty from providing and receiving a quality education. These services are limited to transportation hardship, living conditions, and such. Donations are accepted and fundraisers are administered to keep these services available. Walk-Ins are welcomed; however a scheduled appointment will provide better service. The Counseling Office is located in Eva Hall on the 3rd Floor. Counseling Services are available to all students, staff, and faculty of LCB. Lewis College of Business Student Organizations |
