Career Development Services
Monterey Peninsula College offers a wide range of services to meet your career needs. Whether you are considering a career change or exploring the world of work for the first time, MPC can guide you through the process of career/life planning. For information, please call the Counseling Department at (831) 646-4020 or the Career/Transfer Resource Center at (831) 645-1336.
CAREER COUNSELING
Individualized career counseling is available to all students as a free service. Students who are either undecided or who wish to validate a choice of major meet with a counselor to discuss specific needs and to outline a strategy to assist them in meeting their career development goals. Targeted modules in this process may include career self-assessments, career exploration, decision making, goal setting and/or job search strategies.
Community members are also invited to take advantage of this program. For the cost of MPC's building and health fees, any interested adult will receive the same career services as a matriculated student. Please submit an Application for Admission, register for Personal Development (PERS) 431-Individualized Career Counseling and schedule an appointment with a career counselor by calling (831) 646-4020.
CAREER RESOURCES
Career resources are located in the Career/Transfer Resource Center (Student Services Building). Trained personnel in this Center assist students with computerized assessments and guide them to appropriate online, video and shelf resources. Counselors and Center staff work closely to ensure that students have a worthwhile and satisfying career development experience.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT CLASSES
A variety of Personal Development Department classes are offered to meet students’ career needs. Ranging from zero to three units, these classes address all stages of the career development process and are delivered in both the traditional classroom environment as well as via the Internet.
