Welcome to your Virtual Career Center!

Career and Professional Development (CPD) provides services, programs, and resources that empower Virginia Tech undergraduate and graduate students to discover and pursue meaningful opportunities that lead to a fulfilling career. Our destination-oriented approach to career development helps students design their unique path toward postgraduate success. In alignment with our career everywhere philosophy, CPD works with strategic partners both on- and off-campus to create and sustain a dynamic career development ecosystem to provide unavoidable educational opportunities throughout a student’s time at Virginia Tech.

CPD supports students with: 

  • Exploration of self, majors, and career pathways
  • Seeking work-based learning during college
  • Securing post-graduation employment
  • Planning for graduate or professional school

To do this, we:

  • Offer one-on-one and small-group career coaching.
  • Provide a suite of online communities and resources to support career research and decision-making, skill development, and job/internship searching.
  • Host events including workshops, career fairs, and employer information sessions.
  • Collaborate with faculty and campus partners to embed career education in curricular experiences.
  • Remain dynamic to respond to the changing needs of students and the campus community.

No matter where a student is in their career journey, CPD provides support every step of the way. From career coaching to events and online resources, there are endless opportunities to explore, gain experience, craft your definition of success, and take the next step toward achieving it —connect with CPD today to get started!
