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 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.

The Career & Counseling Center at Delaware County Community College offers free Student Career Counseling services 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 at our Marple Campus and our other locations. Appointments for Student Career Counseling need to be made in person in the Career and Counseling Center, Room 1325. Students will fill out a Student Career Counseling in-take form and the administrative assistants will then make an appointment to accommodate the students’ schedule. On average, we schedule four to six one-hour sessions, held once a week. For career planning needs at branch campuses, contact the main phone number for that campus and ask for more information.

Similar services are also available to community residents, Individual Career Counseling, for a fee.

Jump Start Your Career Workshop
Do you sometimes feel that you have reached a dead end in your career? Do you wonder how to get back on track? JUMP START YOUR CAREER will guide you through a ten-week program to help you move through small steps toward change. You’ll begin by doing an in-depth personal assessment including motivated skills and career values. The Strong Interest Inventory will reveal your top ten occupations, and the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator will help you to determine your personality preferences and work-related strengths. Group members will learn techniques for moving forward including networking, LinkedIn, and action planning. You are encouraged to register no later than one week before the start date. For more information, call the Career Center at 610-359-5324.
