Career Development Center

The Career Development Center serves students and alumni in the career planning and job search process. It also offers assistance with applying to graduate school, including program selection and help with writing the personal statement.

Individual counseling sessions are offered at the center, along with TypeFocus, an online system that helps students examine their values, skills, and interests to reach informed decisions about a major and career.

Workshops and programs are offered that help students develop competitive job search skills and strategies (e.g., résumé and cover letter writing, effective interviewing, and networking).

Online job postings are maintained as well as print and online career library resources. Employers seeking full-time, permanent, and part-time employees and interns are connected with students. Work-study and nonwork-study jobs are also available both on and off campus.

Current students and alumni may post résumés, view jobs/internships, and access the center’s online library at www.ric.edu/careerdevelopment.
