The Re-Entry Resource Program presented for students who weren’t sure what major and career they would like to pursue.

Veronica Herrera, counselor and guest speaker at the presentation on Oct.18 was invited by Re-entry Resources Specialist, Shannon Estrada.

Herrera explained personality types in four different colors: blue, gold, green, and orange.

“The purpose of this workshop is to help students understand their strengths and give them an opportunity to explore the connection between their natural talent and the different career options that are offered to them,” Herrera said.

Herrera asked students what their top two colors were and how they show those colors in their environment.

She mentioned that most people show their second color the most in their personality.

Herrera referred students to the Career Center to look into the majors the students are interested.

“The Career Center will help you research careers, You can also go on Eureka, they have the true colors and you can research the careers based on your colors and personality,” Herrera said.

She suggested students to interview someone in their career choice to learn more about that field and to be sure thats the career they want to pursue.

Only two students attended the workshop.

This was the first time Herrera and Estrada held a this workshop in three years so they weren’t expecting a big audience.

“I wasn’t pleased with the student turnout, but how Veronica was saying we had a following of workshops a few years ago when we were doing it, people would hear about it and thought it was fun and would want to come so we are hoping the same thing would happen if we start doing them again and slowly get a better turnout,” Estrada said.

The next Discovering Your True Colors workshop is Nov.8.
