Career Counseling

As a teen focusing on something so permanent like a career is not easy. Teens are at a place in life that does not usually require them to make life changing decisions, going to college or vocational school is just the opposite of this. Making a decision such as attending college can feel daunting for a teen. Teens require guidance, exploration and education before they can make a career path for themselves. Career counseling can help teens further explore schools, degrees and careers. It is important for your teen to explore all of these through career counseling to help them make a more informed decision. If your teen is more aware of their educational options, they are more likely to follow through and be successful.

For young adults who may feel lost or afraid to take the next step or question going in a different direction is also difficult. Young adults are also developmentally not at a place to make a life altering decision. Committing to an educational or career path can be overwhelming for a young adult. Having a career is not easy work and even when we have a career, some of us do not enjoy it. Through career counseling young adults can explore what options they have as far as education and job openings. Young adults who come to meet with a career counselor typically report more job satisfaction and are happier in their work life balance.

Our Career Counselors can Help

Career counseling can help by helping you set goals. Career counseling is for teens and young adults interested in starting or changing a career path. We can process, discuss and talk about what career direction would be best for you. Making a career choice out of the blue is not easy, but with guidance and assignments we can help you get to your ideal career path. In the long run, knowing the best career path for your can save you money and time. For in depth career exploration, we suggest a Vocational Evaluation performed by our career counselors (please see below).

Vocational Evaluations 

You may be wondering if you are on the right career path, what career options you have or if you have the potential to enter a new vocational field? Career counselors are trained and specialize in helping both teens and young adults who want to explore or change career paths. Vocational Evaluations are a great resource for students thinking about college, entering college or young adults who want to gain a different more meaningful career path. Our career counseling can help you better understand your goals, needs and career path.

Our career and vocational testing will help you understand your career strengths, work values and what you can improve upon before entering the work force. Our career counselors can determine this with you and provide you a written career report with recommendations after a two day meeting. The vocational career meeting will include a background interview, interest inventory, academic test, aptitude test, brief IQ test and transferable skills job assessment. Our career counselor can meet once or twice with you to complete all career testing and the evaluation.

Our Vocational Evaluators Can Help

We specialize in career counseling for teenagers, young adults and millennials in Florida. Our career counselors know that part of being a teenager and young adult is planning a career path and making life long choices. All this can be very difficult for teens and young adults with no direction. We offer career counseling for teens ages 14 and up. By completing vocational testing, you and your teen will have answers in regards to what career is best suited for your teen. This may save you and your teen valuable time and money when applying to college and/or deciding on a major in college. If your teen lacks motivation towards independence or finding a career path, we also offer motivational career counseling sessions with our trained therapists.
