COLLEGE AND CAREER
Role of A School Counselor in College & Career Development
College and career development are cornerstones of a comprehensive school counseling program. Part of the School Counselor’s role is to facilitate interventions that will teach students the attitude, skills, and knowledge required to be college and career ready. College admissions and the world of work are just some of the areas in which a School Counselor must have familiarity. As the post-secondary landscape changes, School Counselors take note and adjust the delivery and content of their materials accordingly, ensuring that their students are able to achieve their highest potential.
