The Career Development Center provides resources for students to translate their academic skills into career readiness. Programs such as the Practice Interview Program help students develop interviewing skills needed to be successful in securing internships, full-time jobs, or entry into competitive graduate schools. The Center also provides opportunities for students to participate in unpaid internships without the worry of living expenses. Over half of internships available to students are unpaid and through programs such as the Career Ready Internship Grant students can focus on the best opportunity for developing their skills.
