Career Development

Center for Career Development

The Center for Career Development supports students as they explore interests, identify strengths, clarify goals, and prepare for life after Holy Cross. Grounded in the academic and formative experience of the College, career development helps students connect their education to internships, employment, and other post-graduate opportunities.

Students are encouraged to engage with the Center beginning in their first year and throughout their time at Holy Cross. The Center assists students in identifying and refining career interests, exploring industries and career paths, developing internship and job search strategies, and connecting with employers hiring for internships and full-time positions.

Programs and resources include individual career counseling, career education programs, resume and cover letter reviews, mock interviews, career panels, alumni job shadowing, networking events, internship and job databases, on-campus recruiting, employer visits, and online career resources. Students also have access to the HC Network, a database of Holy Cross alumni who have volunteered to serve as career advisors, at https://hcnetwork.holycross.edu.

The Center also administers the Crusader Internship Fund, which provides limited financial assistance to sophomores and juniors who secure unpaid summer internships.

The Center’s services and resources are available to all students. The office is located in Hogan 203 and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During the academic year, drop-in hours are available Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Appointments with counselors are available year-round. Students may schedule appointments, search for internships and jobs, and access print and digital career resources through Handshake at https://holycross.joinhandshake.com.
