Career Advising

Are you unsure about your major? Are you wondering what kind of job you could have with your degree? Are you looking for a job that will fit your specific needs? All of these questions involve Career Advising. TRiO SSS has invested heavily in providing excellent tools to help students answer these kinds of questions.

Advising Tools

• SIGI Plus: SIGI Plus (System of Interactive Guidance and Information) is the best place to start if you've got career questions. This user-friendly computer program helps students assess their personal values and explore career options that best reflect those values. Students can view college majors and jobs that match each major. Specific occupational information is provided in 6-8 page print-outs. Students can evaluate their skill level, learn how to make smart decisions about a career, and even develop a resumé. E-mail TRiO SSS to make an appointment at trio.SSS@mso.umt.edu.
• Confidential, personalized self-assessment: Darlene Samson is trained and authorized as a career advisor to help administer several self-assessments. Students answer a battery of questions and receive feedback from national career centers. These are helpful in narrowing the scope of career possibilities.
