Welcome to ArtCenter’s Office of Creative Careers
We provide resources, programming, and personalized advising support to empower ArtCenter students and alumni to explore their professional goals, build their community, and thrive in their creative careers.
Creative Career Support for ArtCenter Students & Alumni
1:1 Career Advising
Our skilled Career Advisors are available to meet one on one with students and alumni weekly. Students can book an appointment to discuss resumes, cover letters, job search or applications, internships, interview prep and more!
Accessible Resume Reviews
Every term CPD hosts a series of professional skill building workshops and student panels that cover topics such as freelancing, interviewing, networking, DEI, resumes, internships and more!
Career Skills Workshops
CPD Career Advisors offer email reviews of resumes and cover letters. This is a great option when students need a quick review for an upcoming application deadline, don't have time for a full 45-min career advising appointment, or career advising appointments are booked for the week.
Career Guides & Resources
The CPD team has an extensive library of resources with new guides created regularly on all career related topics for artists and designers.
