CURRENT STUDENTS

The Office of Career & Leadership Development is committed to providing students with the necessary tools to successfully manage their professional development. Our goal is to offer students reliable support and impart them with the knowledge and resources so that they can plan their careers and find work that is meaningful.  The Office also collaborates with other administrative offices and faculty within CUSSW to ensure that you are supported from the time that you apply to CUSSW, throughout your educational course until years after you graduate. 

Throughout the academic year, the Office offers individual career counseling to students both by appointment and during weekly drop in hours.  Individual counseling gives you the option to focus on your particular career issues.  We also support students though career focused programming and events including workshops, alumni panels, networking opportunities and career fairs.  Workshops are offered during the Fall and Spring semesters and provide tips on many areas including writing resumes and cover letters, interviewing, networking and licensing.  Because CUSSW students come from around the world, we also offer workshops tailored to the needs of international students.  Additionally, we co-host several career fairs and professional events througout the academic year.
