Second, we leverage our campus-wide Career Development Network to meet students wherever they are in their personal and professional journey and help them learn to navigate their next steps towards a meaningful future career. In the CPPD, staff from the LifeWorks program and Career Development Network work closely together to create a more seamless college ecosystem that supports Berry students as they develop a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and creativity as they explore and pursue purposeful life and career goals.</p> <p>Graduate assistants receive an hourly wage in addition to tuition remission for Berry's MBA program.
