Career Mentor Network
The Career Mentor Network brings CPCC students and experienced professionals together for informational discussions about careers.
The Office of Career Services maintains a database of CPCC alumni and other successful professionals who have volunteered to act as a point of contact for students who are seeking career information. These volunteers have agreed to be contacted for the purpose of offering career information and answering questions regarding their career field. This tool's purpose is to gather information that will assist you in making career decisions; it is not a job placement service.
