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.
As a student, you'll explore career options, obtain career-related experience, as well as research and find meaningful employment appropriate to your knowledge, abilities, aspirations and interests.
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.
Center for Career & Professional Development events are sponsored by Alliance Catholic Credit Union.
