Services range from financial aid information to career development and job placement. It takes about two hours to go through the Eureka assessment package. Information includes salary, work environments, skills needed, amount of education and training necessary, and where to get training for the job. For those who lack the resources to pay for their education, the center offers a scholarship information program. FastWeb is a database with information on more than 275 scholarships.
Staff is available to assist with the various computer programs.
This means the procedures and processes used to gain employment in the next several years won't really change that much. While technology may change the way employers and employees get together, the fundamental need to know how to search for jobs, develop search plans and prepare the information that puts an employee in the best light will remain nearly the same. People, not machines, will do the hiring. As long as that is the case, places like the College of the Canyons Career Center will continue to provide valuable services. Sandy Kingsley is the director of College of the Canyons Career Services.
