Career Counseling Resources for CS Students

The Department of Computer Science is dedicated to equipping students with the skills necessary for a successful career in research, industry, or academia and helping jumpstart their careers by connecting them with a wide range of employment options. Students will have a number of resources available to them as they prepare for employment.

Graduate Career Placement (GCP) Team

The Graduate Career Placement (GCP) Team works to connect graduate students at Columbia Engineering with a broad spectrum of employers and employment opportunities. Additionally, graduate students of the Department of Computer Science will partner with the department’s Career Placement Officers (CPOs) throughout their program to ensure they are prepared for the next steps in their professional careers. The CPOs will be the student’s first point of contact for their career development needs.

Center for Career Education (CCE)

The Center for Career Education (CCE) offers a wide range of resources for undergraduate job seekers. The CCE manages LionShare, the job and internship database exclusive to undergraduate students and at Columbia Engineering. Students can check LionShare regularly for updated job listings, as new opportunities are posted daily.

Career-Related Events

The Department of Computer Science works in conjunction with the GCP Team and the CCE to host numerous career-related events each semester, including employer info sessions, tech talks, alumni panels, and much more. We encourage students to participate in as many of these events as possible — the more students learn about the job search process, the savvier they will be when it comes time to apply!

For a comprehensive list of upcoming events, graduate students can visit Career Connect, while undergraduate students can visit the CCE event calendar
