At Humber College, the Counselling department is very aware of the needs of the alumni group and offers many of the same services that they do to current students, but with a focus that suits the experienced worker. Counsellors sit down with you and help you to explore career options and ways in which your present skills can be transferred to another field. Barriers are identified, goals are set, and action plans are developed. While career problems may bring you to the counselling area, it is sometimes a personal problem that is interfering with your decision-making process. It may be difficult to separate one from the other, and a fresh perspective may be all you need.
Counselling helps to expand the options and see things a bit differently.
It is important to remember that the Counselling department is there to help you explore what you want to do, not tell you what to do. Services are offered in a supportive and confidential environment.
