Are There Any Opportunities On Campus?
Approximately 100 employers conduct over 250 interviews with our students in a typical year. There are different possibilities for each major. These interviews include positions for internships, co-ops and permanent opportunities. Not all companies recruit on campus therefore it is suggested you explore all alternative ways for job searching. Feel free to make an appointment to explore all of these options with a career coach.
Internships
Internships are a key to gaining employment upon graduation -- participation in one or more internships introduces CAFLS students to potential workplaces and the real-world experiences that employers value.
