CAREER COUNSELING PROGRAM

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:6

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see,

and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein,

and ye shall find rest for your souls … Jeremiah 6:16

With these texts from the Holy Scripture in mind, we begin the awesome calling of giving guidance and direction to the students entrusted to us. When we meet with students, we need to begin by discussing the importance of setting goals. We prioritize the goal selection process as follows: 

Our goals should enable us to honor God.

Our goals should reflect our interests, natural talents, and values.

We should consider some steps we can take to accomplish our goals.

We have to be flexible, realizing that God may

lead us to adjust or change our goals.

We meet with each student as many times as necessary to ensure that they are realizing their goals and to discuss any concerns that they might have.  To aid us in this we have adopted a new career guidance tool called Career Cruising.  We believe that Career Cruising has a number of advantages over other career guidance programs. Career Cruising is an Internet program, which means it can be accessed from home and encourages parental involvement. It is very user friendly. When the students complete their questionnaires they are able to access information about occupations suggested by the program (as well as other occupations of interest), information about colleges anywhere in the United States, information about college majors and they can also perform a job search.  The students can print out their information, either here at Covenant or at home.  We have already met with students to make sure they understand how to use Career Cruising.  They have been assigned User IDs and passwords, and can use Career Cruising from any Internet connection.
