What is the role of a Command Career Counselor?

The role of a Command Career Counselor is crucial in ensuring that personnel are supported in their career development within the Navy. A Command Career Counselor trains and supports the Command Retention Team, which is responsible for understanding and implementing strategies that enhance retention rates of sailors. This includes providing guidance on career advancement opportunities, educational programs, and supporting sailors as they navigate their career paths.

The Command Career Counselor also plays an essential role in providing resources and information to sailors about their rights and benefits, which ultimately fosters a positive environment that encourages re-enlistment. Having this dedicated focus on career counseling helps maintain and enhance the overall morale and readiness of the crew by addressing personnel needs effectively.
