Career Planning, Decision, and Transition Counseling

Organizations seeking to retain top talent and generate employee goodwill have discovered the value of investing in career planning, decision, and transition counseling. The Center's professionals have provided career counseling to employees in a wide range of industries and at all organizational levels, tailoring our services to the specific needs of the organization.

Career planning helps employees proactively to seek out experiences that will move them toward their career goals, instead of leaving their career track to happenstance. It involves creating a career development plan with specific professional goals and identifying steps the employee can take to achieve those goals.

Career decision counseling means working with employees to help them step back and evaluate their career in the context of their larger life picture. It involves assisting in deciding what steps to take next in their career, whether moving forward or laterally or exploring other options altogether.

Transition counseling is indispensable to employees leaving an organization, helping them to better understand the process of finding another job and how to explore contract or entrepreneurial work or even retirement. We work with employees in career transition to help them assess their capabilities, evaluate at what point they are in their lives, and determine what should come next.
