How Do I Start?
We get it, starting anything is scary. You’ll never feel 100% ready. We suggest starting anyway. It’s important to keep in mind that there isn’t one pathway to a specific career. Whether you are searching for a major, choosing a career path, or needing an internship, Avila Career Services is the place to begin your journey. We will provide assistance as you explore majors, discover options, and select occupations that connect with your interests, abilities, and values. Here are some things you can do to start!
schedule an appointment
Using your Avila email and password, sign into Navigate and schedule an appointment to meet with someone for any major, career, job needs, concerns, or questions.

Take Personal and Career Assessements
Understanding your needs, strengths, personality, skills, talents, and interests can help you make informed academic and career decisions. You can determine those things by utilizing a variety of assessments. We call them exploration tools. Once you’ve done an assessment, you can schedule an appointment to discuss what you can do with your results.
