Career Counselling

If you are in the process of trying to decide if it’s time for a career change, but don’t know how to get the ball rolling, set up an appointment with a career counsellor here at OVRC.

With this information, and the criteria you have identified in your self-reflection, you will be able to choose an occupation that fits your needs, goals and aspirations.
Working with your career counsellor in the final phase you will develop a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely action plan to get moving towards your career goal.
