Center for Career Development
The Center for Career Development partners with you to help you prepare for a robust
professional life, starting even before you arrive on campus!
Grounded in a holistic approach built around career competencies, the Career Center team will work with you on activities that kick start personal reflection and development, then go on to develop career tools like resumes and cover letters and connect you with opportunities from internships to campus employment, externships (job shadowing) to graduate school planning.
The Career Center team helps students in a comprehensive way, beginning with self-assessment and career exploration. They guide students through strengths assessments and thoughtful reflection on their interests, then begin to help identify potential careers that might be good fits.
Working together, students and the Career Center identify externship and internship opportunities, then practice interviews and thoroughly prepare all aspects of applications to those opportunities. The Center for Career Development provides support, through both advice and funding, for many students who pursue internships that align with their interests and allow them to build on their depth of knowledge and experience.
Through holistic and dedicated support from the career center and others, Washington College students graduate with incredible résumés that make them strong candidates for the jobs or graduate programs in their field.
