About CND

The Center for New Directions (CND) was established in 1980 as the pilot Displaced Homemaker Program for the state of Idaho. In 1984, additional sources of funding have enabled the CND to expand to serve all community and college populations desiring career and education planning services.

For over 25 years our staff of professional counselors has provided quality counseling and career development services with the purpose of helping participants explore options, make their own choices and improve their lives.

Growth of the college determined a need for change in the focus and funding of the CND at the beginning of the Fall Semester 2006. The mission of the CND was refocused to serve the Professional-Technical students and a Career and Counseling Service was created to focus on college students needing career and personal counseling. The Career and Counseling Service is located in the Taylor Administration Building, Room 272.

The CND offices are located in Canyon 105.
