The Office of Career and Professional Development‘s friendly, supportive staff were very helpful in giving advice and sharing words of encouragement throughout my job search.

HPU helped me develop my industryspecific skills through rigorous courses and training, but HPU also taught me etiquette and habits that are crucial to the business world.
