Welcome to Career Development and Internships
Career Development and Internships provides the following services and resources:
Career assessment and exploration
A career assessment helps you identify your preferences and interests, matching them with potential careers. Use the career assessment questionnaire on the Career Coach tool to focus on the careers that suit you best.
Schedule a career-advising appointment through Navigate to discuss your career assessement results.
Résumé review and cover letter writing assistance
Templates and resources for résumés and cover letters are available on the Prince George’s Community College Career Transition platform. Use them or other available career resources as a guide and tool to create a résumé and cover letter draft to submit your assigned academic and career advisor for review. Once approved by your advisor, submit your résumé and cover letter through College Central Network (CCN) where they can be activated for employer viewing and used to apply for opportunities noted on the ccn site.
Job search and career readiness training (interviewing, soft skills training)
Develop a successful job search strategy and learn about social networking on LinkedIn. Schedule a mock interview, and we will help you practice and improve your interview and soft skills for success in the workplace. Schedule your Career Services appointment through Navigate.
Internship opportunities and assistance
Experiential learning such as internships, clinicals, and field work prepares students to enter the workforce with employer-desired knowledge and skills. Activate your College Central Network (CCN) student account to prepare for experiential learning course enrollment. Review the Student Guide to Internships or Allied Health and Nursing Student Guide for College Central Network Clinical Experience Enrollment as appropriate. Schedule a Career Services appointment on Navigate to discuss internship and experiential learning eligibility requirements and options.
