Center for Career and Professional Development-Clemson University

About Us The Center for Career and Professional Development was created through the merger of the Cooperative Education Program and The Michelin Career Center. In addition, the UPIC Program was created to manage and facilitate our extensive on-campus internship and cooperative education program. The career center offers many unique services, such as career workshops, on-campus interviewing, experiential education opportunities (co-op program and internship programs), and others. The Center is located in a state-of-the-art facility on the third floor of the Hendrix Student Center. Most of these services are available during all regular business hours. Some specialized services are available only at certain times during the week. OUR VISION STATEMENT Connecting educational experiences with professional aspirations. OUR MISSION STATEMENT Engaging students in career development and experiential learning activities that will empower them to successfully pursue their educational and professional goals. OUR DIVERSITY STATEMENT We strive to educate ourselves and others about the issues of a pluralistic society. We are committed to reaching beyond views of individuals to value a community that appreciates and learns individuals’ similarities and differences. Our services and programs seek to create a safe environment that affirms the dignity and worth of everyone. We demonstrate the commitment by embracing differences, including those differences that are not visually apparent.
