We receive information on internship opportunities from employers every quarter, and we maintain ongoing relationships with employers interested in hiring interns. In addition, we use the internet to access internship and volunteer opportunities, and we have developed a database which lists this information. We use all of these resources to assist students in finding internship, work experience, and volunteer opportunities. We sponsor two job fairs each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. These events are held on both De Anza and Foothill College campuses.
Students have the opportunity to meet employers who are actively seeking candidates.
We also invite industry professionals to address our students in guest speaking engagements on a quarterly basis. This helps us to maintain relationships with employers, adds value to the community college district and gives students a chance to ask questions and further explore their career fields. Weekly Job Search Support Groups Job searching can often be a frustrating and lonely process. The Job Search Support Groups gives job searchers a chance to share leads, experiences, resources, and success strategies. We are staffed by career professionals, who are highly trained to assess students' needs, skills, and career goals, and to provide appropriate job referrals.
