Career Development & Job Search Workshops

Workshops are open to all 樱桃视频 students and alumni. The current event schedule is available on the CCPD home page.

Networking Opportunities

The CCPD coordinates several career networking opportunities for students and alumni. Expos allow students and alumni to meet representatives from companies in their industry of choice and to establish a network of contacts. Annual expos include the Fall Career Fair and the Spring Career Fair.

On-Campus Interviews are scheduled in Fall and Winter with employers recruiting for cooperative education, entry-level and experienced employment opportunities. Employer Information Sessions are often held prior to Campus Interviewing to familiarize applicants with the employer. Practice Interviews help students prepare for the actual interview and are conducted by actual employers or by retired 樱桃视频 alumni executives. Big Interview software allows students to use web-cameras to practice interviews at their convenience.

Experiential education is an umbrella term for student work and academic integration. Participation in the experiential education program is a privilege extended to those students who meet certain criteria and who demonstrate their ability through their initial academic work. Experiential education opportunities may be classified by the employer as cooperative education, paid or unpaid internship, or student employment.

• Cooperative education (co-op) is defined as multiple periods of work related to the student's major or career goal and typically alternate terms of full-time classroom study with terms of full-time, discipline-related employment. Virtually all co-op positions are paid, and the vast majority involve some form of academic credit.
• Internships are defined as one-time work or service experiences related to the student's major or career goal. During the internship, students work in professional settings under the supervision and monitoring of practicing professionals. Employers may offer paid or unpaid internships. (Note: The issue of pay is dictated by the Fair Labor Standards Act.)
• Student employment is defined as part time/seasonal jobs on or off campus. The position must be related to the student's major or career goal. Some students may be able to use financial aid work-study awards for off-campus employment in designated non-profit agencies.

Students in all majors are strongly encouraged to participate in an experiential education program. The CCPD provides opportunities for students to network with employers to secure experiential education opportunities via job postings on the online recruitment database, campus interviews, employer information sessions, sponsored career fairs, and announcements about other area career networking events.

CCPD Coordinated Experiential Education

Students in programs that do not require co-op or do not have an internship component may complete two to three academic work terms through the Center for Career and Professional Development. Students seeking academic credit through the CCPD for co-op/internship work terms must register for the appropriate course during the semester they engage in the learning experience. The Center for Career and Professional Development does not provide academic credit retroactively.

Participants must be "full-time" matriculating students carrying a minimum of twelve (12) academic credit hours during the fall and winter semesters. Students must successfully complete Cooperative Education Preparation (CCPD 3000) course; meet the minimum grade point average requirement and coursework appropriate for their major.

Because experiential education integrates work with classroom training, students in non-required programs will not be allowed to enroll for credit through the CCPD in the final semester of study.

NOTE: Students in required experiential education programs in Architecture, Business Administration and Engineering should follow guidelines and policies of the School of Architecture, College of Business Administration or College of Engineering & Science.

International Students & Experiential Education

International students are subject to the same prerequisites as all other 樱桃视频 students who wish to participate in cooperative education. International students should be aware that many employers may have citizenship requirements that exclude opportunities for international students. ISO will certify international students who have requested permission to complete an experiential education work term with the Center for Career and Professional Development and with the Department of Homeland Security.

International students in required experiential education in Architecture, Business Administration and Engineering should follow guidelines and policies of the School of Architecture, College of Business Administration or College of Engineering & Science.
