Career Services and Internships
The Office of Career Services and Internships supports students and alumni in the development and achievement of career decisions and goals. The University is dedicated to providing resources to enhance students' knowledge in the areas of career exploration, job search skills, and information on employment and internship opportunities. CS&I is available to all Cumberland University students and alumni who wish to receive assistance with job searches, develop or refine resumes, and participate in a wide range of career planning programs. CS&I also arranges job fairs and offers networking opportunities each semester for students and employers. CS&I works closely with all academic and non-academic units by gathering and disseminating data relative to job opportunities, salary ranges, educational needs, and other pertinent measures. Some of the many services and resources available through Career Services and Internships are:
- self-assessment tools to assist in developing career plans;
