The Counsellors at The University College of the Cariboo are professionals trained to provide a variety of counselling services designed to promote and support student academic success, identification and achievement of appropriate career goals, and personal growth.
Career and Educational Counselling is available to students who are uncertain about their career goals. Counselling can help students make realistic career plans based on interests, needs, abilities, and values.
Personal Counselling and Crisis Counselling is available to help students who are experiencing personal difficulties which may affect their ability to succeed in university-college programs or courses. Counsellors can help students clarify issues, overcome obstacles and find effective ways of dealing with problems. Counsellors may also refer students to community agencies for further assistance.
Workshops are scheduled throughout academic terms to help students in such areas as career planning, study skills, time management, test anxiety, and stress management.
Career Resource Centre: On-line career information is available to students and prospective students through Internet access located in the Counselling Centre.
