Job and Internship Fairs are a great way to meet potential hires. These fairs are
for businesses and organizations with current jobs, internships or volunteers positions.

Internships can be a win-win experience for both students and employers. They can provide students the opportunity to learn and gain practical experience from professionals. Employers can get critical assistance on projects and the fresh energy of motivated student interns looking to gain new skills, add to their work experience or change fields.
What constitutes an internship? An internship is generally for a set period of time, rather than indefinitely. An intern may or may not be working for pay. The focus of an internship is on the experience gained and skills learned, while performing real tasks and completing actual projects. Please see our Internship Guidelines for Employers.
Employers with unpaid internship positions for SBCC students are urged to review the Department of Labor factsheet Internships and the Fair Labor Standards Act. This factsheet provides a good overview of the rights and responsibilities you have as an employer offering an internship. We reserve the right to refuse to post or to remove Internship postings that do not comply with the law.
Students can earn class credit for job, internship or volunteer hours through General Work Experience. If you have a student worker who may be interested in earning credit have them drop by the Career Center or refer them to the website.
