The Columbia University Center for Career Education (CCE) helps undergraduate and graduate students and alumni develop the key competencies to make informed decisions and take the necessary steps to achieve their career goals. CCE establishes connections and facilitates interaction among students, alumni, and employers to generate opportunities that help students pursue their personal and professional career objectives.

CCE encourages students and alumni to create a profile in LionSHARE, CCE's job and internship database; visit us at the Career Center; and review our website to access a wide range of services and resources. CCE develops relationships with employers to connect students with internships, full-time, part-time, and temporary on- and off-campus employment opportunities throughout the year. In addition, CCE provides career development opportunities for students beginning in their first year at Columbia, offering externships, internships, resumé and interview preparation, site visits to employers, career fairs, alumni-student networking events, and individual counseling.

Highlights among employer events include the Engineering Career Fair in the fall and specialized industry showcases tailored to department and student club needs throughout the year. 

CCE has also developed formal externship and internship and professional development programs in partnership with alumni and employers, including the Science, Technology, Engineering Program (STEP), the Virtual Internship Program (VIP), the Startup Internship Program, Columbia Arts Experience and the Kenneth Cole Community Action Program. Through our Columbia Experience Overseas program, we offer summer internships in cities around the world. Alumni mentors are assigned to all students participating in these formal internship programs. CCE also administers the Work Exemption Program and the Columbia Engineering Internship Fund to help students undertake unpaid internships. Some of these programs are open to all students while others are open only to undergraduate students. Connect with the CCE to learn about eligibility requirements.

We welcome your visit to the Center for Career Education in person at East Campus or via our website to learn more about our programs and resources.
