Partner Programs Employer Services Career Development for Adults |
The Career Development Center (CDC) in the Division of Adult and Continuing Education at LaGuardia Community College is a comprehensive adult career and employment counseling center that provides services and programs to help adults make successful career transitions. We know that adults face several major career and personal transitions during their lifetimes that lead to them seeking counseling, education, training, or different employment. We are committed to assisting them. Adults who participate in our programs make thoughtful career decisions and plans, enter education and training programs, seek and secure employment. CDC has offered a wide range of services to adults who would like assistance in making a career transition, since 1986. We focus on serving adults who want to change their careers, displaced workers, union employees who want to access educational benefits, workers who want to be promoted, adults who are returning to work, recent immigrants, retirees, and others. In addition to our fee-based services, the CDC provides career assessment, career counseling and planning, training or education referral, job search skills and job placement for diverse populations funded through a variety of public grants and contracts. These contracted programs service diverse clients, such as, welfare recipients, employees of the NYC Human Resources Administration, recipients of Section 8 housing vouchers, low-income employees, and dislocated workers. Working closely with businesses throughout the city, the CDC prepares clients to find employment, to successfully retain those positions, and to move up the career ladder. |
