Career Development
Colgate’s Four-Year Career Development Plan is curated to progress with students as they explore and experiment. By design, it will help students reach important milestones. Career Services is a partner to your student each step of the way. As students clarify their goals, their advisers — dedicated practitioners and industry specialists — guide and support them in the steps they take to explore and test their interests.
Whether your student is a rising sophomore, junior, or senior, encourage them to check out the Career Development page and begin connecting with Career Services early in the fall semester.
Family members are welcome to sign up to receive the weekly What's Going On email.
