Career Peer Educators

CPEs serve as ambassadors of Career Services to students by conducting presentations on career-related topics promoting services and resources to the University community, completing resume and cover letters, marketing Career Services activities, and assisting with Jobs4Govs and employer engagement. CPEs will also have the opportunity to learn about career resources while assisting the Career Center with a wide range of projects. While working on these various tasks, CPEs will receive training about and exposure to many different career tools and resources and will be encouraged to utilize this knowledge in their career development. CPE will also receive professional mentoring and provide reflections based on their experience as a CPE.
