Career Counselling
Career counselling is a service provided to current students to help you chart a career direction that works for you. Algonquin’s counselling team is a group of professionals trained in the art of helping students develop a workable career plan. Get help if you’re questioning your program choice, uncertain about your career goals, or in jeopardy of you failing your program.
