Welcome to the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD)
The mission of the Center for Career and Professional Development is to create meaningful connections to the world of work, empowering Kalamazoo College students to explore, identify and pursue their diverse interests, values and passions, and to develop a framework of skills, networks and knowledge for successful lifelong career planning and professional development.
How Can We Help?
CCPD has many programs and services to offer K students. Our programs relate to field experience opportunities, such as the Discovery Externship Program. Our services include resume creation and revision, and cover letter composition. We are also here to help facilitate your career exploration process through appointments and drop-in career advising.
How Can You Be Involved?
CCPD conducts workshops ranging from resume and cover letter creation to professional etiquette techniques. Recruiters also come to campus on a regular basis. To find the time and location of events, check out the Career Events Calendar in K-Connect.
Getting Individual Help
Career advisors, specially trained peer counselors, are available for drop-by questions. Need someone to look over your resume? Not sure how to get started looking for a summer internship? What about the important points to cover in a personal statement? The career advisors are here to help! If you don't have something specific you are working on, or don't know what direction to take, you are welcome to schedule an appointment with a staff member in CCPD. Just call 337.7183 or stop by our office in Dewing Hall on the 1st Floor.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for your appointment to complete a short questionnaire that will help us better serve you. We recognize that your time is precious, so we want this process to be as efficient as possible.
