Partner With Us
Let's work together! Career Services aims to partner with on-campus departments and offices to provide the highest quality services for students. Explore below to find information on how to partner with our office, post jobs and internships and find and utilize resources to better assist students.
Encourage or Require Attendance at Events
Each semester, Career Services hosts a variety of in-person and virtual events for students to attend. Consider encouraging or requiring student attendance at career-related events as part of your curriculum. Learn more about our events.
Assign Big Interview In Your Class
Big Interview is an online system that combines training AND practice to help improve interviewing techniques and build confidence.
Big Interview offers a variety of tools including:
- Mock interview practice and recording tool
- Written and video curriculum covering the entire job search and interview process
- Mechanism for sharing videos externally/internally for feedback
- Resume curriculum
Big Interview Assignments
Students will have access to Big Interview through their Handshake account. Instructions on how students can access this resource can be found on our Interviewing resources page.
One of the greatest features of Big Interview is the Assignments option. With this option it's possible to create assignments with custom interview question sets (based on industry, competencies, etc.). Once an assignment is created, access can be emailed directly to students in the course. Big Interview will utilize artificial intelligence to provide feedback on the student's answers and students are able to share their answers externally via email or through a single link (which they can then upload to Canvas). This is a great way to encourage interview practice.

Academic Internships
Internships taken for academic credit are work experiences designed, conducted and evaluated within an academic context. Students earn academic credit while working in a professional setting. Ongoing communication, feedback and evaluation among students, faculty and work supervisors ensure that educational and work goals are met.
Participation in an internship or experiential learning opportunity prior to graduation is strongly encouraged for ALL students regardless of whether it's a requirement for graduation.
