Career Services for students and graduates

Career Services · Room A-150 · ext. 2190

Services are available to students enrolled in a degree, diploma, certificate, or clock-hour certificate program of the College, and to graduates of those programs. There is no charge.

Services

• Résumé and application review. Review of a résumé, cover letter, or application, including the license numbers, clinical hours, and practicum records an employer in the occupation expects to see.
• Interview practice. Practice interviews with Career Services staff. For programs in which employers ask for a practical demonstration, program faculty may take part by arrangement with the division.
• DroverJobs. The College’s job board, accessed through DroverNet. Postings are reviewed by Career Services against the posting standards at /careers/employers. Graduates who no longer hold DroverNet access may request DroverJobs access from Career Services.
• Licensure and certification. Assistance with application timelines for state licenses and third-party certifications, and with requests for testing accommodation, which are made to the licensing board or examination vendor and not to the College (see Disability Services).
• Field placement. Placement for programs that require it is arranged by the Field Placement Coordinator; see field placement.
• Job fairs. Held each October and March; see job fairs.

Postings

Review of a posting confirms that it is complete and meets the College’s posting standards. It does not verify the employer, the position, or the pay stated, and it is not an endorsement. No legitimate employer requires an applicant to pay a fee, purchase equipment or a kit, or deposit a check and return a portion of it. Students who receive such a request should stop responding and report the posting to Career Services, ext. 2190, which removes it.

References and verification

Career Services does not provide references on behalf of the College. Faculty members who agree to serve as references do so individually. Verification of enrollment or of an award conferred is provided by the Office of the Registrar. Career Services does not release a student’s records or contact information to an employer without the student’s written consent.

After completion

Career Services contacts each graduate after completion to record employment status for the College’s outcomes reporting. Contact attempts are made and documented under the College’s placement methodology. Graduates may report employment at any time by calling ext. 2190.

Graduates in eligible fields may ask to be listed for the expert services referral process.
