“I learned a lot through the program exercises especially from the Hope Centered Career Inventory (HCCI) self-assessment and interactions with classmates. I was able to identify and narrow down the next action steps for my career.

I value [the Career Navigation Consultant’s] time, guidance and care… in ensuring that I achieved my goals.
