Career Development at Grand Rapids Community College involves a number of resources and services. It includes providing help with life direction and the job search;
choosing a career or major; making available occupational training, preparation and placement activities; continuing education offerings; transfer school assistance; knowing how
to access helpful career information and a variety of other supporting activities.

The most visible career development areas on campus are the Counseling and Career Center, the office of Career Development Services (whom maintains the site you are currently on); the career resources located in our Library & Learning Commons; the Student Employment Services; the Tassell M-TEC; the Thompson M-TEC and Training Solutions & Professional Development.

The questions below as well as the menu on the left provide links that attempt to respond to what we have found to be common needs and interests of many who desire help with career planning.

We hope that your visit with us will prove to be beneficial and that you will want to return again in the future.
