Discover your path and align your passions with a profession. In this session, we will assess your interests, skills, and values to identify potential career paths. Whether you are choosing a major or considering a mid-career pivot, we’ll provide the tools and resources to help you make informed decisions about your future.

We will help you identify the best job boards for your industry, teach you how to leverage LinkedIn for networking, and develop a systematic approach to finding hidden opportunities and tracking your applications.

I spoke with 2 people today on the phone. They were both wonderful and helped me with everything I had questions about.
- Harrison M Giese·
Everybody on staff is so helpful and friendly! I have spent two semesters at KCC and have not doubted my attendance for one second. So many resources are available to students and advisors that are able to help the needs of any student. At KCC I feel that I am wanted to succeed and can follow a course degree path at my own pace and with limited frustration.
- Jhordan Irven·
Amazing.
- Anne Carbonaro·
I met a lot of friendly and devoted people today at Kankakee Community College. Katelin helped me with my class schedules and clinicals. She explained each step so I am fully aware of what to expect. Which I am grateful for in lieu of being out of school for 42 years. 😁
- Alexis Diaz·
Fantastic teachers who go above and beyond to show they care. Very nice classrooms and machines to work with.
- Makynzi Walk·
Everyone I have spoken to has been very helpful. Specifically, my advisor, Wesley, Walker was very helpful when I decided to change my career path and choose my classes for the Spring. He explained all my options and helped guide me deciding what classes I want to choose. Everything has overall been a positive experience.
