Mission
The mission of the Center for Career and Professional Development is to assist students with making informed career decisions using its diverse and comprehensive services. These services and interactions with the staff may lead to successful internships and/or employment.

The Center for Career and Professional Development also reinforces the soft skills of interpersonal communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity, which are vital to be successful in any career. Students also receive assistance with career portfolio building, resume writing, interview skill development, grooming, networking skills, and effective job search training. Career workshops and job/internship fairs provide students additional opportunities to interact with prospective employers.

The Center for Career and Professional Development encourages students to explore websites specifically related to their majors. Information on these sites includes related career titles, job research resources, salary information links, job search engines specific to each major, and links to professional associations in their major. The Center for Career and Professional Development aims to support students in enhancing professional skills, becoming aware of various occupations and career options, and learning how to conduct effective job searches. Post University does not guarantee employment. It is the responsibility of graduates to seek and gain employment.

The Center for Career and Professional Development is a member of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE). All memberships provide the Center for Career and Professional Development’s staff with updated resources that help deliver comprehensive career coaching services to students.
