Career Peer Educators         

Helping students find their way!

 

The Career Peer Education (CPE) program provides the opportunity for students to contribute to the career development of their peers by assisting with Career Center presentations, resume critiquing, marketing and promotion, and career events. The CPE program also promotes the professional development of the CPEs by improving their communication and other job-related skills, and providing an increased awareness of career resources.
