CENTER FOR

CAREER PLANNING

Students want to make the most of their undergraduate experience and position themselves to be successful during their time at CNU and after. The way to success can be thwarted by lack of information, indecision and inefficient use of time and resources. The Center for Career Planning (CCP) will help your student navigate the way. We support them in deciding on a major, learning about occupations, finding an on-campus job, and writing a resume to land that perfect internship or career. We'll provide information, advice and resources during individual appointments, workshops and panels while also hosting job and internship fairs and employer/grad school information and recruiting sessions and campus interviews.

Each year, the CCP works with thousands of students individually and through events and programs to help them move in their desired direction. Let us help your student come up with their very own action plan to get more out of their CNU experience and position themselves for unlimited future success.

Connect Classes and Career By Talking to People

Learn how talking to people, whether students are exploring majors or careers or pursuing internships, employment or graduate school admission, is critical to their success. It requires presenting information about themselves, asking useful questions and doing something with the information they gain. Let us help your student master these skills.

Pick the Best Major. Learn About and Explore Occupations. Start Pursuing a Career!

Doing your best academically comes from working hard, studying what you enjoy and finding ways to connect your academic experience with the employment and graduate school worlds. The CCP provides information on majors and occupations through individual appointments, workshops and career assessments so students can identify their interests, values and skills and see where these fit with major and career options.

Students can Gain Experience in Their Field

Students can participate in a variety of CCP sponsored programs to gain understanding of and experience in their field of interest. Conduct an informational interview with people doing the job they want. Complete one, two or three internships during the summers or even during the academic year. We can help students find, prepare for and pursue these opportunities.

It's Not About Resume Building – It's About Your Student

Students should pursue their passions! Take classes that interest them. Get involved in activities that they find meaningful. Study abroad. Conduct research with a faculty member. They shouldn't do things because they make their resume better, they should pursue things that excite them. Bring any experiences to the CCP and students can learn how to translate the value of their experiences into a narrative, so people understand what makes them tick and want to have them as an intern, employee or grad student within their organization/school.
