The Vocational & Career Development Program: Expert Help for Choosing the "Best Fit" College
and Career
Helping Students
Choosing a college, deciding upon a major and discovering a career path can be exciting milestones
in an individual's life. Yet, this is a time that is often filled with stress, anxiety, frustration
and confusion. Studies have found that freshmen are transferring to other colleges by their
sophomore year more readily than ever before, students are taking longer to finish their degree
and many are dropping out. Switching colleges, changing majors and feeling overwhelmed can
be preventable. Proper planning and guidance can help students choose the "best fit" college
and turn these precious years into a time of self-discovery. The student can put his best foot
forward right from the start.
Our staff develops an individualized assessment package to address these issues. We obtain
information about your interests, abilities, learning style and personality traits. We utilize
this information to move you on a path toward completing your education and getting you started
on the next stage of life - a career that fits you. When indicated, we evaluate for other factors
that potentially impede educational success, such as cognitive weaknesses (including attention
deficits), emotional conflicts and learning problems.
Helping Adults Seeking Change
Many people are faced with decisions about changing their career, returning to the work force
after a leave (due to personal choice, illness or injury) or have a desire to engage in a career
that they never thought was possible.
With our guidance, you will obtain valuable information to help you discover your career
path. We will meet with you to review your past education and employment history, and we will
administer tests geared toward your specific needs. As we work together and learn about your
personal values, personality traits, abilities, interests and goals, we will assist you in
problem-solving and decision-making. Answers are on the way!
Our staff will review testing results with you in a clear and concise manner while addressing
your questions and concerns. We will develop a complete picture of your ideal college and career
paths based on your interests, abilities, learning style and personality traits.
We also teach resume-writing skills and job interviewing techniques. We offer training in
time management, planning skills, and relaxation strategies. We can assist you with the college
application process. To read more, click here. To listen to a radio interview featuring testimonials about this successful program, click here.
Individualized Tutoring for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT
Some of our staff have specialized backgrounds in preparing students for nationally-administered standardized examinations. They will work with students to identify their weaknesses and strengths on the SAT and other exams. Our preparation is one-to-one instruction that is customized to the individual's specific needs and learning style.
Our clients develop confidence as they learn valuable methods to efficiently solve problems on these tests, pace themselves and other crucial strategies such as anxiety reduction and time management. As psychologists with specialization, we are also able to teach highly effective skills that specifically address those students with learning disabilities and executive skill deficits (e.g., ADHD).
