CPE empowers undergraduate and graduate students to reach their economic and employment goals while making meaningful connections within transfer, APS, and program cohorts. We encourage students to take risks and stretch their understanding of career and professional growth opportunities, fostering a mindset of exploration and innovation as they navigate their pathways to success. This program augments existing efforts to prepare students for careers by providing focused support to students who have not received sustained career preparation support or have faced historical institutional barriers that hindered their full participation and preparation for success in today’s competitive job market.
This effort will identify and engage students to ensure they have a range of career readiness experiences including:
- Experiential learning opportunities such as internships, co-ops, student assistantships, and on campus employment related to their desired field
- Coaching, counseling, mentoring, shadowing, and networking resources
- Personal branding trainings
- Professional development pathways
- Social engagement and personal development
- Job search support through alumni and employer engagement
- Other services as needed
