With an eye toward better meeting the needs of students tying their educational goals to their desired careers, Shoreline Community College will be bringing two invaluable groups together to create a new Career Center in the FOSS building.
This move – which will relocate the Counseling team with the Workforce Education area on the first floor of the 5000 building – will allow the two groups to more easily pool their talents to the benefit of students. Whereas students currently must move from department to department, floor to floor to take advantage of the full range of career counseling resources offered by the college, this move will make these resources much more convenient to use.
“This is a great time to create a seamless way for students to use our career resource. It also opens the door for us to grow the capabilities of two outstanding departments.” According to President Cheryl Roberts, “It’s clearly an opportunity where one plus one equals three.”
As part of the move, improvements will be made on the current Workforce area, with the creation of four new offices and a group meeting room. Workforce and Counseling staff will also be called upon for suggestions on how to make the best use of the new arrangement, from space usage to technology upgrades.
Construction is expected to take place during summer quarter and summer break.
