Staff Career Development

Counseling and resources from career exploration to job search strategies.

Career Development

The Staff Career Development Program (SCDP) in the Department of Human Resources exists for all staff employed on the Boulder campus, and provides both individual advising and group career development on topics ranging from career exploration to job search strategies. The services do not include job placement, transfers, referrals, or a guarantee of securing any specific position. CU Boulder invests in their employees by providing career support for those staff interested in applying for internal opportunities, as well as furthering their careers. There is no cost for individual and group services.

  • Maximize your strengths and competencies to increase job satisfaction and efficacy.
  • Improve communication in your current role.
  • Explore your career trajectory and possibilities.
  • Build relationships through occupational inquiry and networking.
  • Pursue promotional opportunities.
