Resources and Opportunities
Need help? We’re here for you! Whether you are just starting to think about life after college or are looking to refine your skills in preparation for a final interview, our professional and career development team offers a host of resources to meet your needs—from job and internship postings to graduate school information to various career exploration guides and assessments.

Career Assessments Discern your interests, values, skills, gifts and personality preferences—and how they relate to the world of work.
Career Documents Review Make sure the paper version of you is polished to perfection through expert feedback.
Interview Preparation Stand out during your job interview or graduate/professional school interview by practicing with a career professional.
Resources for Underrepresented Students
Historically and presently, diversity and inclusion have been undervalued or poorly practiced in the workplace. There are many unique challenges faced by multicultural students, international, first-generation, disabled, neurodiverse and female students, including underrepresentation, discriminatory hiring practices and lack of employment support. CCI wants to stand with you and help you discover your calling, develop your gifts and direct your career journey.
To this end, we have built events and support offerings into our regular programming that will provide guidance that is specific to you, and we have developed website resources with unique opportunities including networks, associations and internship and job opportunities related to your professional development (see below). CCI is committed to helping you open doors that get you where you want to go. CCI hopes these resources are a helpful primer in beginning the conversation between you and your CCI career coach.
Opportunities
Exploring your calling is as much about pursuing what interests you as it is about knowing what doesn’t. Gordon is a safe place to step outside your comfort zone, take risks, try new things and learn in the process. Complete an internship (or two or three). Start a new venture. Take advantage of on-campus and local employment. Expand your studies through research and fellowships.
Internships
Pair classroom learning with real-world experience through four different internship programs—plus co-op and research opportunities.
Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership
Tap into your creative spirit through entrepreneurial mentorships, speakers, networking and opportunities to start your own venture.
Student Employment
With 1,800 on-campus and 1,000 off-campus job opportunities, there’s something for everyone—from office internships and Chapel-checking to babysitting and yardwork.
Graduate Fellowships
Pursue competitive graduate fellowships (like Fulbright) or research grants from prominent organizations (like the National Science Foundation).
