How can you explore your Career Options?


Exploring your career options is easy!
Well, only when the right people and right resources are available. At Kingsborough Community College (KCC) we have the right people (Career Office –C-102); we have the right resources available to our students. If you have not made up your mind on any career choice, that’s ok, but do you want to graduate from KCC and still don’t have a clue?
There are some easy ways you can explore your options, through the career office at KCC. The career office has career counselors who are trained in the most current career trends and have created a program called “Career Quest”. This program is geared to helping students find career options available to them and to prepare them for the professional world. They go through the process from assessments, which help to identify strengths and areas to grow, to training which prepares you to be confident when attending interviews and etiquette in the workplace. So check it out!
Be proactive, challenge the status quo, and get yourself in an internship (experience builders with companies in your field of study, some internships are paid and some are not), to gain the experience in which field you choose and to see how the professional world functions.At KCC we have all the right resources available to succeed in your field as professionals. So stop by our career office(C-102) and make full use of all the resources we have available.

    1. Thank You for your question Mark.
      Students have come to us and told us how confident they are in interviews, public speaking, networking and just being able to show what they have to offer. They choose majors that are interesting to them and succeed, rather than doing something that is influenced by the people around you(like family and friends).

      I hope I was able to answer your question and if you have anymore, please feel free to post them here or the best choice is to stop by the Career Development Office room C-102.
