Services We Offer
Career Counseling
For many people, choosing a career can be a daunting task. The Career Counselor is available to better assist you in the selection and decision making process. Various career assessments may be administered on a case-by-case basis in order to help clarify a person’s values, interest, skills, and abilities.
Career Assessment
Career assessments help individuals understand how their interests, values, motivations, and skills align with different career paths. Honolulu Community College offers various assessments based on each person’s goals and needs. During your initial meeting, a Career Counselor will create a tailored plan. Please note that results may not be available immediately. We currently offer the FOCUS2 assessment.
FOCUS2 is an online interactive, self guided career and education planning system designed to help you make decisions about your future career goals and education plans.
Career Assessment is reserved for Honolulu Community College home campus students only. To obtain an access code for this assessment, please contact Career Services at honcs@hawaii.edu, call 808-845-9204, or reach out to your program counselor. Thank you.

Choosing a Major
Choosing a major in college can be a daunting task. Individuals typically begin their career search at a different point in their life. Every student has a different work history, personal challenges and/or obligations, as well as desired level of educational attainment. Given the notion that no two people are the same, career counselors usually look at various factors that influence a person’s decision. Through personal exploration, we will discover your values, skills; motivation; expectations; interest; passion; and work history just to name a few.
On-Campus Recruitment Events for Employers
Employers are invited to schedule visits to campus to meet with students, share information and recruit prospective candidates. Our Center can assist you in setting up an Information Table in a high-traffic area on campus, or arrange an Information Session where students can learn about your organization.To make arrangements for a recruiting visit, contact Career Services at (808) 845-9204 or email us.
