Students

Like everything else at Florida State College at Jacksonville, career development is all about you. Career Development Centers (CDC) are equipped with the tools and information to help you figure out a career plan. Make an appointment with a career counselor who will offer career advice and guidance. Once you’ve decided on a career, the CDC’s Job Placement Office can help you find that perfect full-time, part-time or summer job.

These services are available to all of our students, including those who have applied but haven’t start classes yet. High school students are eligible for some of these services as well. We also assist alumni in career planning. Some services may vary by campus; contact a Career Development Center for specific information.

Career Planning Process

With so many options from which to choose, selecting a career — or selecting a major and then connecting that major to a career — can seem like an overwhelming task, leaving you to wonder, “How do I get started?” It may seem daunting, but the process can be broken down into four steps:

1. Gather information about yourself, through activities like self-assessments
2. Gather information about the world of work
3. Identify careers related to your interests and abilities
4. Act on the decision you have made by getting the education or training to achieve your career goal

The Career Development Centers can assist you at each step of the process. Contact us to get started today. In the meantime, you can begin organizing your thoughts and exploring your options by visiting our on-line career exploration page.
