Here are some of the career exploration services available through the Counseling Center:
Majors Walk-In is held weekly on Wednesdays, 1:00-3:00 pm. No appointment is necessary. Majors Walk-In is a great way for you to get started with your career questions and concerns. The computerized career exploration system, SIGI3, will help you with choosing majors and career path options that are suited to your interests, values, personality and goals. SIGI 3 gives you access to information about hundreds of occupations, and the majors most commonly associated with those occupations, using the most up-to-date career information available. Plan to spend at least 30 minutes becoming familiar and working with SIGI3. Afterward, you can continue work on your own computers through a secured access portal, which allows you to store information and come back to SIGI3 throughout their at Maryland. This service is mostly used by undergrads (freshmen through seniors), but can even be helpful to graduate students who are unsure of career direction. To take advantage of this opportunity, check in at the Main Reception desk on the 1st floor of the Shoemaker Bldg.
