The Map: Creative Careers Ahead

About The Map

The CCA Alumni Association has created your road map to success. Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, we have the tools and resources to keep you on the right path or steer you in a new direction.

Professional Development

The CCA Alumni Association and Career Development offer a variety of online and in person career resources for alumni. Access the CCA job board, hire a CCA intern, contact a CCA career counselor, or attend our annual series of career workshops for alumni. Résumé development, goal setting, networking, and informational interviews are just some of the workshops we have offered. Learn more about upcoming events. Alumni looking to enhance their personal or professional development are also encouraged to enroll in courses offered by CCA Extension.
