Does your student need help finding a job or internship? We are here to help! Check out resources for students below:

Step 1

Have them start building their MAP (My Aspire Plan) by working on the Securing Experiences Achievement. This walks students through the steps on not only how to find opportunities, but to do it strategically to actually land that future opportunity!

Step 2 

Get them to create an updated profile on Handshake (Carthage’s job and internship posting website) so that employers can find them. Handshake is different from other job sites in that the postings are geared to the skill levels of college students and recent graduates. Employers and postings have also been vetted to ensure credibility.

Step 3 

Encourage them to swing by The Aspire Center on the 4th floor of Lentz Hall. Each student is connected with a career specialist, and we can help students start from square one! Contact The Aspire Center at aspire@carthage.edu for any questions.
