From workshops to one-on-one counseling, we provide a range of resources to help you network with professionals in careers you may be considering. We'll also help you identify internship or work opportunities that allow you a chance to “try on” a particular profession.
No, our philosophy is to assist students and alumni in developing a plan for professional employment and honing those skills for the first job search and beyond.
Typically, it will take anywhere from two to six months for you to receive a job offer. Therefore, if your goal is to start your job or internship in May, you should begin your search in the early fall. Many organizations begin their hiring process for recent graduates as early as September.
Start with our online resources such as Handshake. Our staff can assist students in clarifying goals, developing internship search strategies, and providing insights on application materials.
We have a growing list of contacts within organizations available through Handshake. We can guide students through the process of networking effectively. Additionally, we can work to assist students in connecting with alumni to further help students build a network of support.
Every day, Career Education receives numerous job and internship postings from employers. All of these opportunities are made available online through Handshake. You can set up saved searches on Handshake and receive notifications of new positions by email.
