Career Services

The education and training you’ll receive at CDIA at Boston University is a major accomplishment and a significant step toward accomplishing your dreams. CDIA’s Career Services office is ready to help you start your career with a variety of career development programs.

Ultimately the level of success you achieve during your certificate program and after graduation depends largely on the effort you put in. It is up to you to gather the necessary skills throughout the program and then put together a portfolio, website and/or demo reel to professionally and accurately represent your ability to potential employers.

Graduates of professional certificate programs are eligible for career services assistance. While we make a strong effort to meet their preferences for location and type of work, employment is not guaranteed. All graduates must be in good standing and have fulfilled all requirements to be eligible for assistance.

In Career Services, we are always looking for ways to increase employer awareness of our graduates. We build and maintain relationships with key industry decision makers, develop job/internship opportunities and monitor industry and employment trends.

Career Services offers unlimited resources to alumni and current students in the following ways:
1. Group and individual job search related assistance to enrolled, active students: workshops, special events, and seminars, and one-on-one meetings with Career Services representatives.
2. Up to twelve months after graduation, alumni may contact the Career Services Department for individual assistance. They are also always invited and encouraged to attend special events, seminars and alumni group meetings. Alumni may also take advantage of our intranet resources, including available internal and external job and project openings.
