Career Planning and Counseling

Mt. Hood’s Career Planning and Counseling Center, located next to the MHCC Bookstore, has credit courses that coach students in career and life planning and in developing their resume.

There are advisers available by appointment who can sit and talk with you one-on-one and help establish short or long-term goals.

Having trouble choosing a major? They help with that, too. After a short interview, the adviser works with you and helps you choose what steps you need to begin your path to the career you want. Stop by to make an appointment, or check out the Career and Counseling Center tab on Mt. Hood’s website.

The center also hosts multiple job fairs throughout the year. It brings employers to campus so that students can see the types of jobs out there. The initial event, the Holiday Jobs Fair, will be held Tues. Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student Union.
