The Career Development Centre (CDC) at Ahmedabad University guides and prepares students for success in their careers by providing them significant resources to explore, discover, develop, and pursue not just their professional goals, as is traditionally expected of a career centre, but their personal goals as well. The CDC facilitates students' connections with organisations in the corporate world that match those goals.
The CDC is committed to working with students at all levels of their career aspirations, from understanding their interests to a judicious assessment of the same, from providing networking opportunities to equipping them with job searching strategies. It functions as the nodal office for the University's corporate relations.
Activities conducted by the CDC help students work on areas of development and strategise their careers. These activities include:
The CDC works closely with students via a Student Committee. Their members represent students' interests and act as a bridge between the community and the CDC, thus helping build a symbiotic environment for students' development.
