Graduation day is not the day you should start thinking about your career!
The Career and Professional Development Center is committed to providing quality services and developmental opportunities that support the educational objectives of IUP. Our goal is to teach students, by providing career consulting and support, how to become active participants in their own continuing career development.

- Glassdoor holds a growing database of 6 million company reviews, CEO approval ratings, salary reports, interview reviews and questions, office photos, and more. Unlike other jobs sites, all of this information is entirely shared by those who know a company best—the employees. Add to that the latest jobs and the ability to see inside connections at companies via your Facebook network—no other community allows you to see which employers are hiring, what it's really like to work there according to employees, and who you may know at a particular company all in one place.
