Experience matters. Get yours.

Hard work and passion are the heart of your Butler education. At the CaPS Office, we help you translate that into real-world success, no matter where your path leads. We are here to help you make a powerful transition from student to professional.

We provideopportunities for one-on-one coaching to help you identify your unique strengths and clarify your purpose, networking opportunities with employers, alumni, and partners across diverse fields—from the arts and non-profit sector to research and industry, programs to turn your passion into can’t-miss professional skills, or ensuring you are a compelling candidate for your first job, graduate school, or creative pursuit.
