Career Coaching Services
Career paths aren’t always linear, and that’s where we come in. TC NEXT offers personalized coaching to help you explore your interests, clarify your goals, and create actionable plans for what’s next. Our coaches support students across all programs with career decision-making, networking strategies, interview prep, and job or internship searches. You can meet one-on-one in a 30-minute virtual or in-person session, or stop by during posted drop-in hours for quick questions hosted by our trained career peers, no appointment needed. Drop-in availability varies by semester, so be sure to check our current office hours in the Career Resources Portal.
