One of the driving forces behind higher education is career preparation.
At IUP, we provide students with the education and training they need to be competitive in the workforce and the resources they need to find jobs and prepare for graduate school.
The Career and Professional Development Center at IUP helps students to explore employment options and get their careers started.
Mock interviews, job fairs, individual career coaching, and many other services are available.
