Need help?<\/h6>\n
Poole had someone who helped him. And there are many people working at SPC in areas such as career advising who want to help you reach your goals and dreams!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re having a difficult time working out your schedule, talk to a career and academic advisor or a career outreach specialist at one of the college’s campuses early in the semester.<\/p>\n
It will only take a short amount of time to meet with these staff members who can help students envision and plan for their future. Plus, by helping students determine their academic and career goals, students can plan ahead to register for courses in the coming terms.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget to encourage your peers to do the same!<\/p>\n
Where to be looking for opportunities?<\/h6>\n
Career Services staff also can help students keep up with internship and career opportunities available while they’re in college or getting ready to graduate.<\/p>\n
They help connect students and employers so students get the perfect internship and businesses find future employees with the skills to meet their industry needs.<\/p>\n
