Career Services and Internships (CSandI)
The Office of Career Services and Internships serves as a resource for students and alumni who are entering the world of work or who seek to upgrade positions. The primary goal of the CS&I is to provide Cumberland University students and alumni with the tools that are necessary for identifying and pursuing job opportunities. CS&I is open to all Cumberland University students and alumni who wish to search job sites, receive assistance with job searches, develop or refine resumes, and participate in a wide range of career planning programs. CS&I also arranges job fairs and large-scale career search and interview opportunities each semester to help students and employers have a common venue to network and interact. CS&I works closely with all academic and non-academic units by gathering and disseminating data relative to job opportunities, salary ranges, educational needs, and other pertinent measures. Some of the many services and resources available through Career Services and Internships are:
- self-assessment tools to assist in developing career plans;
- information on specific careers and employers;
- resume, cover letter, and interviewing workshops and information handouts;
- career and job fairs;
- opportunities to meet and network with CU alumni;
- job search strategies;
- listings for full-time and part-time employment and summer jobs;
- graduate school information;
- professional school information;
- individual appointments;
- internships.
Students are encouraged to visit the CS&I office early in their college career to develop the most effective career path.
