We appreciate the opportunity to educate students about the job-search process, the necessary skills to secure an intership or job, and the chance to make them aware of career resources.  Whether you'll be in attendance or away, our college liaisons can present to your class.   

Career-Related Class Assignments

CCPD has designed career assignments along with grading rubrics to support requests from faculty to incorporate career readiness into the classroom.  We believe that the University is an ecosystem that can support the student in their career journey.  By providing these assignments, it is our hope that we can partner with you to teach the latest trends and practices for students to be career ready. 

Please contact us at least 3 weeks prior to making a request for a career–related assignment.  We will supply the materials as well as determine if you would like your college liaison to assist in the presentation of the material.  Below is a list of assignments that you can incorporate into your curriculum.
