Q. What else does the Career Resource Center Offer?
The DISCOVER program is also offered in the Career Resource Center.
DISCOVER is a computer-based career planning and information system
that supports mature decision making. There are four comprehensive
sections of Halls, designed to take a student from beginning their
major/career search through a decision making process into the
job placement arena. The four Halls are as follows:
Hall 1 Learn about Self and Career
Hall 2 Choose Occupations
Hall 3 Plan my Education
Hall 4 Plan for Work
These
Halls give students the opportunity to take inventories on their
interests, abilities and values. They also can find occupations
by using the World of Work Map, inventories, work characteristics,
and the "look up" method. In addition, majors can be
researched through occupations, the World of Work Map and the
"look up" method. There are 270 complete descriptions
of majors in DISCOVER and over 550 occupational descriptions representing
about 2000 occupations.
In addition, we recommend that you make an appointment with a
career counselor in the University Counseling and Testing Center.
