The Career and Professional Development Office at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville connects the curricular and co-curricular experiences of students so that they can articulate their professional skills and abilities and use them to become accomplished professionals and engaged citizens. Through support and empowerment, students become active participants in their professional development. We prepare students to make informed decisions regarding their future by connecting their personal and professional aspirations to the interpersonal development, practical competence, and civic engagement that they acquire as students.
