Graduate Student Career Planning

The graduate student career search process is quite different from an undergraduate's experience largely due to life experiences and a need for work-life balance. What's important for the graduate student to remember is that career development is a life-long process that begins now. Your time in graduate school provides a unique opportunity to utilize resources to prepare you for a lifetime of professional development.

What we offer to graduate and professional students at Case Western Reserve University is the opportunity to discover avenues not typically considered. We also offer services and resources to enhance your professional development skills.
