Career Planning

The Career Planning Center (CPC) complements the academic mission of the college. One goal of the CPC is to introduce students to the process of career planning, including self-assessment, career exploration, goal setting, and the development of an effective job search strategy. Students are encouraged to visit the CPC early in their college years for counseling and information on internships and summer jobs. The CPC helps seniors and recent graduates in the transition to work or graduate study and prepares them to make future career decisions.

Each year, nearly 80 private sector and non-profit employers and 100 graduate and professional schools participate in Bowdoin s career program. An additional 60 employers participate in interviewing consortia in Boston and New York City. The CPC maintains a comprehensive website; houses informational materials on nearly 1,000 summer, semester and January internships; and provides access to over 2,000 online job leads and nearly 7,000 internship listings.

The Center also has a database with directory information on over 1.7 million organizations in the United States.
