- The professional expertise of the staff in Career & Academic Planning is working with graduating students and new graduates (also considered "entry level"). It is important for experienced professionals with 5 or more years of experience to connect with either a career counselor or career coach who has the training and expertise to assist established professionals with their job search and professional development needs. For local residents, we recommend DeNoble University Counseling Services or Harrisonburg Career Coaching. To identify a career counselor or coach in other areas, visit the NCDA Find a Counselor site.
