Career Planning & Counseling Center

  • The Career Planning and Counseling Center (CPCC) is staffed by counselors and a Student Career Development Coordinator. It is the go-to site for students seeking support in their career planning and choosing of a major.

    The CPCC is also the go-to site for students seeking  personal counseling services and referrals on concerns related to depression, anxiety, suicide, stress management, eating disorders, and addiction.

    The CPCC counselors also teach Human Development courses on topics such as College Success and Career and Life Planning as well as offering various resources, including classroom presentations and workshops to faculty.

    Please note that the CPCC will be closed the following date: Monday, Jan. 20 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    The CPCC has limited counseling services available during finals week and non-instructional breaks (e.g., winter and spring break)

    Our staff is committed to social equity and non-discrimination with providing a safe, welcoming environment for all students: Equal Opportunity: Culture of Respect

    Due to concerns about COVID-19 spreading through large group gatherings, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our career fair, originally scheduled for April 23. While this was a tough decision to make for MHCC, we felt it was most appropriate to prioritize public health concerns. The well-being of our community is central to our mission and a large gathering at this time is not advised by state and local authorities. More information around refunds and planning for our Fall fair will be available in the days and weeks ahead.

    Please reach out with any questions or concerns regarding the event cancellation to Jennifer McNeil: 503-491-7526 or jennifer.mcneil@mhcc.edu.
