Free Counseling Through DANTES
The counseling program involves completing a short assessment, it takes about 20 minutes, to see what job fields and college degrees best fit your interests. After completing an assessment, you will receive tailored career guidance and occupation search aids. These can then be used to narrow down a long list of occupational fields to those right for you.
