Welcome to the Faculty/Staff Community!

Career and Professional Development (CPD) exists to support Virginia Tech students and new graduates. We collaborate with faculty and staff toward our shared goal of supporting Virginia Tech students in their process of career exploration and professional development. We work with students from first year undergraduate through graduate level.

Presentations could be in-person, via Zoom, or pre-recorded. After you complete the presentation request form, if an advisor is available to accept the request, you and the advisor can discuss the details.

These are activities and modules for students you can incorporate at any time into your classes, workshops, or resource hub. No training is required for use. Unlimited use for Virginia Tech faculty and staff.


Campus internEXP is an on-campus internship program where we aim to utilize the variety of job functions and amazing professionals that work right here on campus to create accessible, paid internships for our students.
