Edgewood College Career Development Department

Empowering students to achieve their career goals!

Career Development at Edgewood College empowers students to apply their education toward achieving their career goals and living a meaningful personal and professional life. In addition to our work with students, career development builds and maintains relationships with faculty, staff, community partners, and alumni to create a more just and compassionate world.
