Career/Transfer Center
Career Services
The Career/Transfer Centers on the San Jacinto and Menifee Valley campuses help individuals with their career development through career assessment, career education and employment related services.
The career planning process typically begins with scheduling an appointment with a counselor to discuss future goals and options. The Career/Transfer Centers offer interest inventories, values and skills tests as well as assessment of personality preferences. The results of these assessments are used as the basis for career exploration and counseling.
