Gaining Experience

Handshake - Job Listings

Through Handshake, the Office of Career Success  also provides job, internship, and mentoring opportunities. Job listings come from private employers, non-profits, and local, state, and federal government agencies.

Internship Program

Seminole State partners with the business community to offer opportunities that are designed to integrate formal academic study with practical work experience. Through these experiences, students can earn college credit toward their degrees or certificates while working full- or part-time in positions related to their academic and career goals. Interns earning a letter grade/college credit are assigned to a Seminole State faculty member who helps define goals, develop learning contracts, and evaluate outcomes.

Employability Skills and Networking Activities

Professional Development

Additionally, the Office of Career Success  staff provides training on employability skills, such as networking, resumé writing, cover letters, and interviewing. These skill sessions are scheduled during the fall, spring, and summer academic semesters and are available to all students, student organizations, and through classroom presentations.

Job Search & Employer Networking Events

 To further aid in the transition of Seminole State students into the workforce, the Office of Career Success sponsors career fairs and networking events that attract businesses, public agencies, and community organizations.
