Director Message

The Career Development Centre (CDC) at UET Peshawar inspires students to become groundbreakers of individual professional careers. CDC provides career guidance, industry linkages, and grooming prospects to students. CDC also inculcates passion in students to grow into competent and prolific individuals not just at a local level but at the world stage. CDC provides resources to students in matters such as interview preparation, job or payment negotiation skills, choice of study program at the postgraduate level, and networking with contemporaries. CDC also facilitates students by offering counseling appointments on an individual basis. In today’s highly competitive world, decent grades are not the sole requirement that employers look for.
