Part-time Employment

Career Services has a network of excellent local companies that depend on our students as part-time employees. A job fair is scheduled quarterly for students seeking employment. This event allows students an opportunity for immediate interviews and networking with employers. In addition to the part-time job fair, a weekly job packet is prepared of both on and off campus employment opportunities. Seminars are available on various topics to instruct students on developing a resume, completing an application, interviewing, and professional phone skills.

As students progress through their program, part-time field related opportunities are available, such as externships and freelance work. Externship opportunities allow students to gain on-the-job skills. Students are encouraged to meet with Career Services to discuss the steps necessary to pursue that first experience in the industry.

Graduate Assistance

Once students are ready to graduate, it’s time to search for that full-time entry-level industry position. The first step in achieving this goal is participating in the quarterly Portfolio Show hosted by the college. Graduates work closely with both the Career Services and Academic Affairs departments to ensure the quality of work is at the graduate level. This venue allows graduates the opportunity to show potential employers their portfolio of work.

What’s more, the guidance continues after graduation. Graduates work closely with Career Services staff to match their skills to the needs of prospective employers. Each program has an advisor that provides a personalized, comprehensive service tailored to the needs of the graduate.

Although Career Services cannot guarantee employment or a particular level of compensation following graduation, the Career Services staff works hard to cultivate employment opportunities for students and match job leads with qualified graduates.
