The Career Center partners with students throughout their college journey, helping them explore career options, build professional skills, gain experience, and prepare for internships, jobs, and graduate school.
Families play an important role in this process. Encourage your student to explore opportunities, connect with Career Center resources, and engage with campus experiences that support their goals.
The Career Development Plan helps students intentionally connect academics, experiences, and career preparation throughout their time at Cal Poly Pomona. Through the campus-wide career ecosystem developed between the Career Center, academic colleges, and other campus and employer partners, students build career-ready skills, explore opportunities, and develop professional networks.
Aligned with Cal Poly Pomona’s Strategic Plan, the model prepares students for meaningful careers by connecting them with internships, research, community-based projects, mentoring, and other experiential learning opportunities that support success beyond graduation.
