National Career Development Month

National Career Development Month is celebrated in the US each November. This month allows individuals to engage in career-related activities and self-discovery. Career development is about setting career-related goals and acquiring the skills to achieve those goals. 

Cincinnati State’s Career Center Invites You To Join Our Career Month Challenge.                                 

From November 1 – November 30, 2024

What is the Challenge?

The Career Center is hosting a virtual challenge, including registering and exploring some of our career development tools. Each registration with Career Coach, Pathful Explore, or Big Interview enters students into a drawing to win exciting prizes.

Students who complete all three registrations will be entered to win a grand prize.

Career Coach allows individuals to discover majors, in-demand careers, and education based on their interests.  This online tool provides current, local data on employment opportunities, wages, and education and training required for a variety of careers.
