| Career Center |
| The services of the Career Center are available to applicants, students
attending Vance-Granville Community College and members of the community who
need assistance with career planning. The resources are designed to encourage individuals to examine and understand their personal interests, abilities, skills and values and to use this information in exploring and establishing career goals.  A computerized guidance system, "Sigi PLUS", is available to help students find occupations that meet their individual interests and needs. Upon completion of the "Sigi PLUS" program, the results and possible career options are discussed. Individual sessions can be scheduled for career guidance by calling the Career Center Coordinator. Other valuable resources concerning career information and opportunities are also available. These resources include DVD's, CD's and videos that offer help on subjects such as defining skills, filling out applications, test taking, job search skills, and on various careers. The Career Center also has a link to a software program, "N.C. Careers". The program features information about career choices, descriptions for each career, a listing of the North Carolina schools that offer these curriculums, information about each school, a self-assessment section, and more. Job placement services are free of charge to area employers, current students and graduates of VGCC. Services provided to students and graduates include assistance in identifying employers, assistance in writing resumes and cover letters, job interview skills and current job openings. Employers are assisted in finding qualified employees from current students and graduates. Assistance in obtaining part- and full-time employment is given, but the college cannot guarantee employment. A bulletin board displaying all jobs currently listed with the Career Center is located outside on the upper level of Building 4 on Main Campus, and Jobs Update lists are given to the satellite campus coordinators and department chairpersons on a monthly basis. New positions are updated weekly on the VGCC website. This database contains more detailed information than the printed version. Job Shadowing is a service offered by the Career Center that provides an opportunity for a student to spend a designated amount of time with an employee/employer who serves as a career model in the area of the student's interest.
