Career Placement Services

Halifax Community College's Career Center provides students with tools and information to discover their education and career path. We offer individual and group career explorations tools to help students make decisions about their professional goals. We explore career paths based on personality, interest, values, abilities, motivation, life and career skills, learning styles, career interest and temperament. We train our students to look inward and learn more about themselves in order to venture outward toward their future. Our students will have the flexibility to meet with staff face to face or they can utilize these on-line resources to discover their career pathway.
