Career Development Center
The Bloomsburg University Career Development Center (CDC) produces an annual report of graduates earning a bachelor’s degree to determine their status in the year following graduation. Information was gathered via online survey, phone, email, social media, and in person. Faculty, staff and families also played an integral role in obtaining information, resulting in a 93% response rate from graduates of the
Class of 2011. Our graduates continued to do well in a tough economic climate and we are pleased to report
87.3% are permanently employed or continuing their education.
The CDC provides numerous opportunities for students to explore career options and to develop the skills necessary to achieve their career goals and pursue meaningful life-work. We present and facilitate discussion in academic classes, conduct workshops, meet one-on-one with students and coordinate career and job fairs, while our on-campus recruitment program connects graduating seniors with potential employers in formal interviews. In addition, the CDC website includes links to many resources useful in the career decision-making process. For graduating seniors and alumni, we post career opportunities online at the College Central Network
(CCN), a cooperative job posting and career management site shared by all 14 PA State System of Higher
Education universities. We are proud to offer these programs and services that contribute positively to the academic mission of Bloomsburg University.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support.
