College Career Services Resources
Community Colleges
Although the resources may look slightly different at each college, they all share similar goals and opportunities to support students for work experiences while in college and upon graduation.
Each community college has a Career Center. As part of their services, they typically have student employment services for on-campus jobs, a career center to help support external work experiences, a job board platform, and cooperative work experiences where a student can earn college credit and acquire on-the-job training simultaneously.
