In addition to the academic rigor of a top-20 school, Vanderbilt offers many opportunities to help students achieve career goals. One key resource is the Center for Student Professional Development, which exists to develop students’ professional capabilities and prepare them for employment. The career coaches at the Center help students identify strengths and interests, understand and manage transitions, and identify personal and professional networks for their life after Vanderbilt.
The Center also works with top employers who come to campus to recruit Vanderbilt students. For example, last year:
- 6,130 jobs and internships were available through the Center’s internal job board DoreWays.
- 1,861 companies recruited Vanderbilt students for jobs and internships through the Center.
- 1,734 interviews for jobs and internships were held on-campus at the Center.
Members of that graduating class went on to work at places like Apple, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Chevron, Deloitte, Google, LinkedIn, Tesla Motors, and The New York Times, among many other top employers.
Wherever your personal plans are headed, Vanderbilt offers a foundation for success. You can learn more about life after Vanderbilt at the Center for Student Professional Development web site and the Vanderbilt Alumni Association web site.
