Career Services

Career development is a lifelong process.  At Oakton, we'll help you determine your career goals, no matter where you are at.

Career Services offers a wide array of resources to help you with your career decision making whether you are selecting a major or changing occupations.  Career counselors work with you, using many different strategies, to help you define your career goals.  Individualized job search coaching sessions help you develop an effective resume, improve your interviewing skills, and more.  And free workshops throughout the academic year will help you prepare for job search success.

As of December 1, 2011 there was a change in the fee structure for services offered by Career Services.

Career Services continues to offer one-on-one career counseling and job search coaching FREE to currently enrolled students and alumni with an Oakton awarded degree or certificate.

All others will be charged $45 per session to meet individually with a Career Counselor.  Career Services will waive the fee for the initial visit, enabling the person to determine if our services are a good fit for their needs before making a monetary commitment.

Job search workshops; our online job board; computer assisted career guidance and information system software; physical resources in Career Services on the Des Plaines Campus including computers, printer, fax machine and telephone for career exploration and job search activities will remain FREE for EVERYONE.
