Describe a major and why it is important.
Choosing the best major for you will give you the opportunity to learn about things you are truly interested in and will give you a head start in your chosen profession.
You will discover new interests, learn about your strengths and choose where you want to begin your professional career as a student. Exploring academic and career paths can help generate ideas regarding this important choice.
Working students who have part time and full time positions can take advantage of earning units with this program. Name it.

A student wants to take an assessment. He/She asks about career. What would you do next?
Refer them to our career website and identify the career assessments students can take. Also, suggest the student schedule an appointment with the career counselor or career adviser so they can help the student interpret the results.
We offer career counseling and career advising. Our career counselor will work two days of the week. Our career adviser works full time. What will you do if a student asks for Edward, but the career counselor has openings on his/her schedule?
Fill up the career counselors schedule first, suggest they see both career counselor and career adviser if they wish to see Edward. We want to make sure we service our students, however, prioritize career counselors openings when scheduling on SARS.

What is an internship?
Be specific
the position of a student or trainee who works in an organization, sometimes without pay, in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification.
Internships are year round, and often times unpaid. An internship cannot be serving coffee or making copies, but a goal oriented program that allows a student to grow and learn cultivating skills and employment development.
