The First Year
Year one will begin with a session during New Student Orientation introducing participants in
the program to the Office of Career Services and to CCEP. Later in the fall there will be
career-related sessions on a variety of liberal arts topics.
As a CCEP participant you will also meet individually with a career counselor during your
first year to begin to identify potential areas of interest.
The Second Year
Year two will include a workshop focusing on the usefulness of obtaining internships and
explaining how Career Services, together with faculty, can best assist sophomores in researching
internship opportunities, getting involved in faculty research projects, and exploring Study
Abroad programs for your junior year. Additionally we will offer instruction on building a
professional portfolio, writing a resume and cover letter, and introductory information on
networking skills.
The Third Year
Year three will help you clarify your interests and strategies and begin to focus more on a
career path by refining your career-search and job-readiness skills. A host of job search
readiness exercises will be administered during the year, designed to help you further identify
areas of preference such as work values, work environments, and work relationships. By the end of
your junior year, you will have prepared a resume and, where appropriate, will have participated
or be about to participate in an internship, a study abroad experience, or a research project
with a faculty member.
The Fourth Year
By the beginning of your fourth year, you will be experienced in resume and cover letter
preparation, should be able to interview and network effectively, have a clear focus of a career
choice or graduate/professional school options, and be ready to put all of this to use through
on-campus recruiting, the individual job search process, or preparing your applications for
graduate and professional school.
