The Career Development and Resource Clinic (CDRC) is a free service offered by the Department of Psychology for current and prospective SIUC students.
The CDRC provides individual career counseling to help students assess their interests, skills and values related to career choices, explore career alternatives, and make decisions about college majors and career directions. We are committed to meeting the career and academic needs of SIUC students by providing quality career counseling services
The CDRC also offers workshops and resources related to career planning, such as preparing for the first job or graduate school.

Referrals
Do you know someone who would benefit from one or more of our services?
To make good referrals, it is important to understand the nature of the services provided at the CDRC. We can help a student in all stages of the career planning and decision-making process. However, the assistance provided by our career counselors is different from that provided by academic advisors or Career Services.
Career counselors can help a student choose among educational and occupational options. Such career decisions may involve self-assessment activities and identifying resources that are useful in the decision-making process.
Career counselors are likely to be more useful in helping the student look at the big picture of his/her career, while an academic advisor would probably be more effective in helping the student select specific courses to achieve career goals and meet academic requirements.
