Career Planning & Resources

Career Planning & Resources (CP&R) equips Scripps students and alumnae to recognize and build on their strengths, connect their liberal arts education and experiences to meaningful possibilities, and pursue lives of purpose with confidence, courage, and hope. Our signature programming includes:

• The Career Action Plan, a self-paced, flexible career development program available to all students through Canvas
• Career Exploration Treks, a cohort-based program visiting organizations and employers in major cities
• Resume Refresh, connecting Scripps students with alums in their industry for both resume feedback and a networking opportunity
• Summer Internship Grants, providing funding for students pursuing low-paid or unpaid Summer internships

For Current Students:

Did you know that CP&R has an entire website full of resources on Inside Scripps? Access that here using your Scripps single sign-on account. You can learn more about our signature programs, our counseling services (both general and industry-specific), and our employer recruitment events.

Need to schedule an appointment with our career team? Use Handshake to schedule, also using your Scripps single sign-on. You can also check out Handshake for industry guides, career advice, and our job board (including on–campus jobs).

Want to connect with the Scripps Community? Alums and families are on Olive Grove—which allows you unlimited free messages to the Scripps community (a perk compared to the paid tiers on LinkedIn).

Download our Career Services Guide for templates, guides and best practices for everything career-focused, or stop by CP&R for your own printed copy.
