Career Development

Finding one’s niche in the world of work can be challenging – especially for young people uncertain of their options, people who have encountered unexpected life events that require a new focus on their career development, and people who desire to change occupations because of career dissatisfaction, personal issues, workplace issues, and other reasons.

​

Career counselors worldwide have adopted the model Career Consultants of America, Inc. (CCA), applies to facilitate the career planning and career decision making of people in career transition.

​

Career consulting services are offered via hourly counseling sessions and standardized testing. Many clients use Decision Time: A Guide to Career Enhancement (3rd Edition), authored by Michael Shahnasarian, Ph.D., between sessions.  CCA also offers a vocational guidance program to individuals who seek direction in their career paths.  This includes an introductory interview, a battery of vocational testing, interpretation of the test results, and an exit interview.  Many participants in our vocational guidance program with Dr. Shahnasarian have found fulfilling career paths.
