Career Coaching

At Emory, Career Coaches are more than just advisors—they’re expert partners in helping you discover your strengths, clarify your goals, and take meaningful action. Each coach specializes in one of our eight Career Communities, giving you access to industry-aligned insights and personalized support tailored to your interests. 

-One-on-One Coaching-

These 30-minute collaborative appointments are personalized, focused, and built around your goals. Your career coach will:

• Ask questions to help you identify your strengths and explore your interests
• Break big tasks into smaller steps
• Share tools, resources, and insider knowledge
• Help you build the skills and confidence to pursue what’s next

-Group Coaching-

Group advising sessions are here to engage in guided career conversations with peers, facilitated by a coach or CPD fellow, to learn collaboratively and share ideas. We intend to bring students together to explore career topics in a shared setting. It can happen through interactive workshops, classroom presentations, or events, offering helpful guidance, resources, and peer insights all in one session.

-Pop-up Coaching-

Attend community-based events where Career Coaches offer on-the-spot guidance and answer questions about CPD resources, career exploration, and next steps. Pop-up coaching brings career advising to you in collaboration with academic departments and other campus partners. You can drop in for a quick meeting with a career coach to get answers to your most pressing career questions. No appointment or prior registration is needed!
