About Us

 

 
The Career and Professional Readiness Center goes beyond the standard role of a college career center in providing students with extraordinary resources to enhance their ability to find an internship, land that first job, or win acceptance to their graduate school of choice.

The Career and Professional Readiness Center's investment in Bonaventure students begins freshman year and continues through graduation. The CPRC’s recommended Professional Development Action Plan offers a comprehensive range of services and programs that empower students with the skills to understand and implement career goals, enhance their professional development, and implement effective job-search strategies.
 
No college career center can guarantee graduates will land the job or graduate school acceptance of their dreams, but by partnering with the CPRC throughout the undergraduate experience, students will be more prepared than most for that next big step.
