Career Planning and Assessment.
Career development is a lifelong process and the career counselors at Centenary College are there to help adult learners with career exploration and management. Learners can make an appointment with a counselor to discuss individual situations. Sessions can be held in person at the Parsippany campus or by accessing a cyber-counseling session.
Career assessments are often used to help identify and clarify career goals. By following the links below you will find a number of online career assessments. Our career center also has assessment resources available.
