Career & Professional Development houses our Career Development staff, comprised of professional career coaches. In addition to meeting with students individually and in small groups, the coaches conduct over 300 classroom presentations annually. The presentations can range from in-class announcements lasting 5-10 minutes, to concept introduction in a period of 20-30 minutes, as well as to interactive workshops running an hour or longer. We can modify the length and content to meet your needs.
Faculty and Staff Instructors are encouraged to complete the online presentation request form to have one of our career coaches present for your class or organization.
