Center for Career & Professional Development

The Center for Career & Professional Development (CCPD) partners with students and alumni to enhance their educational goals, career development and job or internship search as they transition from college to career.

We accomplish our mission by providing students with:
- Cooperative education and internships.
- Networking with recruiters through campus interviewing, career fairs, employer information sessions and online career management software.
- Courses, workshops, seminars, and online career resources for lifelong career management skills.
