Personal Career Counseling

At Southern Virginia, career counselors get to know students. Students and counselors work together to develop a plan to strengthen their resumes and find success after graduation.

Students should meet with the career center at least once a year and even more frequently as they approach graduation. Schedule meetings on the Knight App.
