In addition to hosting over 175 recruiters on campus every year, the CMC Career Services Center is responsible for dispensing summer internship stipends, and working with students during their time at CMC to hone resume and cover-letter writing skills. They also set up mock interviews and work to directly connect employers and graduate school recruiters with interested students on campus.
