The Career Development Intern (CDI) program is designed to provide valuable paraprofessional experience for undergraduate students while assisting the Career Center in meeting the needs of University of Georgia students, alumni, and employers.
Career Development Interns are integral members of our staff, serving as peer mentors and campus leaders who promote career development and seek to increase students' awareness of career development issues and the services of the Career Center. More specifically CDIs help critique resumes, cover letters, provide feedback for mock interviews, assist Career Center staff with career related events, and conduct outreach projects to increase awareness and knowledge of career center services to the student body.
