COUNSELING Copiah-Lincoln Community College recognizes the fact that almost all beginning college students need assistance in making educational and career plans as well as help with their own personal adjustments. The primary goal of the counseling program at the College is not simply to direct the student, but to aid each individual in understanding and solving various problems which may arise. A complete program of career, educational, and personal counseling is conducted on campus through the services of trained counselors working in cooperation with all other faculty members. A library of occupational and educational material is maintained for students who may seek additional knowledge regarding careers and/or senior institutions. Assistance is offered to graduating career and technical students in locating suitable employment. Consultation services are also offered through this office in regard to labor market survey, job analysis, and job openings.
