The Center for Career and Professional Development connects students and alumni of St. Mary’s College of Maryland with experiential opportunities, networking experiences, and professional skill development. We offer support at every stage of career development, from first-year advising to postgraduate networking and coaching.

Our programs connect students and employers year-round through our job shadowing program, on and off campus internships, career fairs, on-campus interview days, off-campus career immersion trips, and our Career & Networking Navigation classes for new students, to name a few.

These opportunities prepare students for professional environments and explore different career fields to help them narrow down what they want to do. Alongside a network of employers and alumni who regularly prefer to hire St. Mary’s College graduates, our goal is to get our students prepared for professional life both during and after college.
