Welcome to our Virtual Career Center!

Career and Professional Development (CPD) empowers Alma College students to explore meaningful opportunities and build a fulfilling career. Through our explore-experience-launch model, we guide students in designing their unique path toward postgraduate success. Our mission is to help students think critically about their career choices, develop essential skills, and navigate their future with confidence. With our support, students become stewards of their own success, ready to serve generously and lead purposefully in their professional and personal lives. 

Discover what drives you and figure out how to turn passion into reality.

Engage in hands-on learning through internships, volunteer opportunities, research, and global experiences.

Step into your future with confidence by applying your skills, building your network, and securing meaningful opportunities for life after Alma.
