Our Services

One-on-One Appointments

Our career consultants and counselors meet with students to assist with self-assessment, career decisionmaking, industry exploration, resumes, cover letters, job and internship searches, and interviewing. Appointments can be scheduled through Handshake.

Workshops

Career counselors host career development skill-building workshops on numerous topics, including but not limited to: resumés, networking, interviewing, and industry-specific job search strategies.

On-Campus Recruiting and Handshake Database

Handshake is the University of Notre Dame’s centralized career management platform where students can research employers, search for internships and full-time jobs, network with other students and employers, schedule career counseling appointments, RSVP for workshops and events, and much more.

Internship Funding Program

This program is designed to aid students who wish to enter into an internship whose pay does not meet the standard cost of living. The Center for Career Development provides financial awards assisting students with living expenses while participating in full-time paid and unpaid internships or research.

Interview Rooms

The Center for Career Development offers 40+ rooms on the 5th floor of Duncan Student Center where students can interview with employers participating in on-campus recruiting. Rooms are available for virtual interviewing and post-graduate exam preparation.
