If you have any questions or concerns about receiving help, please contact breencenter@lvc.edu, or individually using the contact information here.

• If you would like to have a document reviewed by a career coach, please email a Word, Google Doc, or an Office 365 document to breencenter@lvc.edu. Please do not email PDFs, as we cannot manipulate the content in a PDF. Our policy: we will provide your reviewed document back within 2-3 business days. 
• Once a document is received, a career coach will review it and contact you directly with feedback, to set up a potential virtual conference, and/or discuss further steps.
• If you already work with a career coach, you will be encouraged to continue working together using a variety of means (Zoom, email, phone, etc.).
• All drop-in hours are being offered virtually for the spring semester.
