Creative Career Support for ArtCenter Students & Alumni
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.
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 Creative Careers hosts a series of professional skill building workshops and student panels that cover topics such as freelancing, interviewing, networking, resumes, internships, and more!
Career Skills Workshops
Our 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-minute career advising appointment, or career advising appointments are booked for the week.
Career Guides & Resources
The Creative Careers team has an extensive library of resources with new guides created regularly on all career related topics for artists and designers.

Curated Internship & Job Board
CPD manages For-Credit Internships and works with students and employers to complete the necessary requirements. These internships offer a structured learning environment, facilitating mentorship opportunities and allowing students to merge classroom concepts with real-world challenges, preparing them for their future careers.
Internships For Academic Credit
Creative Careers partners with employers from around the world to post paid art or design-related internships; full-time, part-time, and freelance positions; and residencies and fellowships on our platform called ArtCenter Connect.
Our team also sends curated jobs emails to students in every department.
