Career Coach

Your College Advisor is a Student Success Coach!

Success Coaches support you through your college experience. We are available both virtually and in-person on both our Coos and Curry campuses. As a student working towards a degree or certificate, you will meet with us for an “intake” appointment to help navigate the intricacies of starting college and prepare you for your academic journey. Thereafter, expect to meet with your Success Coach prior to registering for classes each term.

What can your Success Coach help you with?

Finding a workable balance between your coursework and other life commitments
Having a continuing conversation about your goals/successes/hurdles as you work towards your degree or certificate
Assisting with course registration, degree paths, graduation, transferring onto other programs/universities, looking at what options the college offers and how that fits into your educational/career goals

Counseling

All counseling is private, confidential and provided free of charge for students. This includes those attending Coos Campus, OCCI, Curry Campus and online students. Whether you're a new student or continuing, full or part-time, there are periods when life, feelings, relationships and expectations can get the best of you. Talking to a college advisor or counselor can help you manage your academic load, enhance career options and bring out the best in you. Our counselors are available to discuss personal, career or educational concerns. If you're interested in learning to relax and manage your stress, biofeedback sessions are also available.

Schedule a Counseling Appointment

Current students (including those attending Coos Campus, OCCI, Curry Campus and online students) can schedule a counseling appointment by first logging into myLakerLink.
