Small Groups

We assist teens and young adults with clarifying their career identity in a small group, in-person, setting with three to eight participants. Rather than testing clients and telling them their results or problem-solving for them, we use a variety of mediums, including valid and reliable career assessments to assist clients with solving career-related problems.

We assist teens and young adults with clarifying their career identity in a small group, in-person, setting with three to eight participants. Rather than testing clients and telling them their results or problem-solving for them, we use a variety of mediums, including valid and reliable career assessments to assist clients with solving career-related problems. We also assist with the exploration of the world-of-work and teaching and applying the steps to career decision-making, skillsets that clients will be able to utilize throughout their life-long career journey. Our client-centered approach to career counseling and coaching incorporates research-based theories, techniques, and resources.

The main differences between group sessions and one-on-one sessions is that group sessions are a package deal, the cost is shared by the participants, making it more cost effective, and the potential for greater collaboration exists. One-on-one career counseling sessions allows the career counselor the ability to tailor sessions and resources to the specific needs of that particular client.

Small Groups are by age range (i.e. Early Teens, Teens, and Young Adults) and 4-weeks for Early Teens and 8-weeks for the older groups.

Because the career counselor needs to meet with each prospective group member prior to signing up, you may schedule a Complimentary Career Identity Assessment or call 478-241-0466 to get started.
