Welcome Area Companies, Firms, and Agencies!

Many employers recruit new staff regularly from graduating Art Institute students. On-going communication with employers through mail, email, and phone contact keeps employers current with our educational programs and the pool of talented graduates available to them. The Art Institute of Charleston, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, offers the following services for employers:

• Quarterly Career Day for employers to meet culinary arts graduates
• Quarterly Portfolio Show for employers to meet design and media arts graduates
• Quarterly Job Fairs for employers to present part-time job opportunities to new students
• Posting of part-time positions on in-college job board
• Visits by career advisors to employer facilities
• Opportunity for employers to visit the campus to interview graduating students
• Assistance to employers in scheduling interviews at the employer's offices
• Screening of graduates for entry-level and advanced positions so that only qualified applicants are referred
• Portfolio Show

At the end of every quarter The Art Institute of Charleston hosts a Portfolio Show as a way for graduates to showcase the skills they have developed while at college. Graduating students from all programs display their final portfolios and greet dozens of employers from all over the Charleston area. In each program, one student's portfolio is selected as best of show by the faculty. This exciting event is held on campus and is open to industry professionals, family, friends, alumni, and fellow classmates.
