Lehigh University Career and Professional Development

Current Graduate Students

College of Education graduate students have full access to all services and resources provided by The Center for Career & Professional Development (CCPD). Please review CCPD’s web pages and view the online platform, Handshake, for more information on coaching appointments, resources, and events available to you. There are specialized programming and events throughout the year for graduate students.  We encourage you to use these services and resources as a foundation for life-long career development.

If you would like to connect with a career coach directly, please reach out to Ali Erk, Associate Director, Graduate Student Career Development - alison.erk@lehigh.edu.
