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

- Planning for graduate or professional school
To do this, we:
- Offer one-on-one and small-group career coaching.

- 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.
