The Center for New Directions at CEI is one of six programs in Idaho whose mission is to assist adults wishing to change or improve their education and/or employment. We specialize in career development services for single parents, displaced homemakers, those considering non-traditional training or employment and other special populations. Services to provide support and career opportunities for CEI students are available.
A counselor will meet with you to determine what your needs are. If you wish to explore new careers or acquire new skills, career exploration is available. If you are a student and want to ensure success in your program or optimal placement in employment, the counselor will assist with effective study strategies, managing test anxiety, overcoming barriers and connecting to campus and community resources.
