The Ramapo College Pathways Program, administered through the Cahill Career Development Center, helps students develop a rich understanding of the career development process using resources and tools to embrace future possibilities.  It is designed to guide and support undergraduate students as they prepare for their post-Ramapo plans through career exploration, self-assessment, experiential learning and professional development. The unique program is a graduation requirement, which includes exploring career options, creating and building a portfolio, and preparing to for job interviews.

LaQuan Norman, director of the Cahill Career Development Center, shared in NJBIZ magazine that, “Industry trends affect our coursework development, which helps prepare students to enter the market.” Dr. Scott Frees, professor of computer science and director of RCNJ’s Center for Data, Mathematical, and Computational Sciences, shared, “Companies typically tell us how impressed they are with the ‘hands-on’ skill our graduates already possess. We offer a unique focus on technical programming skills so our students can hit the ground running as software engineers. Our faculty members stay in touch with businesses and industry representatives, and faculty members also have experience as consultants, so the curriculum stays fresh even though the field is evolving quickly.”
