Young Adults face unique and diverse challenges, both personally and developmentally, that impact on academic achievement. The college counselor’s role is to promote emotional, social and personal development in trainees, in collaboration with trainees, parents, teachers, administrators and community agencies. Some of our many functions at Bumbe TTI include counseling trainees, their families and the community to foster growth in the trainees’ self-esteem, individual responsibility and in skills such as decision making.
