Student Employment & Internships

As part of your career planning process, you will want to explore your individual interests, personality, your JCC degree and how they relate to jobs available. A part of career counseling helps you explore these as you look at continuing your studies and/or finding employment.    This may include resume and cover letter development and critiques, as well as interviewing techniques. Job placement activities are supported through the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) (opens in new window.)
