"Regardless of where the student is in terms of career decision-making, the tools and resources within the Center are useful whether the student is just starting at PTC or graduating," said Kathy Arola, College Counselor and Instructor.
According to Arola, choosing a program to study in college can be difficult and confusing. Oftentimes, many students entering college feel overwhelmed since they are expected to commit to a program before they have begun to think in concrete terms about future career possibilities.
The PTC Career Center, managed by Arola, is a place where students can explore possible careers, discover interests in new programs and gain an understanding of the training, knowledge and skills necessary for a variety of careers.
"If a student is unsure about his or her career direction, undecided in his or her major or is looking for information about different careers, he or she can find that information in the Career Center," Arola said. "For example, if a student is wondering what kinds of careers are available for those with an A.S. degree in business administration – the Career Center is a good place to begin that research," Arola adds.
