“I learned a lot using career coaching. My career coach and I went through many different career options so that I could pick the right one for me. We also talked about colleges and what degree I would need to accomplish my dream of being a genetic counselor.”

Kenna, ARVA, 11th Grade

“Working with a career coach has given me a better sense of direction regarding what I want to do in my future. I started with a broad passion for STEM, but after just a few coaching sessions I have narrowed my dream goal down to aerospace engineering. Thanks to my career coach, I feel that I can not only shoot for the stars but also aim well enough to hit my target.”

Emma, CAVA, 11th Grade

“These sessions have been great for improving my confidence when speaking, figuring out better ways to respond during more professional situations, and how to create a brand for myself. My career coach was extremely helpful with everything, and I would definitely recommend career coaching to everyone.”

Paige, DCA Oregon, 12th Grade
