What is Career Development

Career development is a lifelong process of exploration, education, and experience that begins the very first time you are asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

AVOID JOB SCAMS

Fake job postings are often sent via email and look like they come from a legitimate source. Jobs that sound too good to be true should raise a red flag. 

Want to ask if a job is real? Contact the ACDC at 270-745-3095 or CareerHelp@wku.edu
