Job Fair
Our annual spring job fair offers a variety of opportunities from an average of over 70 employers and is open to all IVCC students, alumni and our college's district residents. This major event, held in April of each year provides an opportunity for job seekers to meet a variety of employers face-to-face in one setting. This event is held to recruit students who attend IVCC and to attract people who are currently employed and are interested in a career change. Employers who may wish to participate in this annual event should call the Career Services Office to request more information. Information on Job Fair is available on the Career Services website, https://www.ivcc.edu/careerservices/job_fair.php. On-Campus recruitment by individual businesses is sponsored by Career Services and is listed as a Recruitment Visit in our College Central Network (CCN) event announcements.
Career Resource Center
The Career Resource Center is a three-station computer lab and printer designated entirely to support the job search process. The Center is staffed daily during regular business hours to provide hands-on assistance with resumes and cover letters, and to assist visitors with accessing career planning and labor market information via the Internet. The Center is located within the Career Services area.
Internships
Career Services works collaboratively with Academic Program Coordinators and serves as a resource to students who are seeking an internship opportunity. Assistance may include internship forms and resources to find information about internships available.
Wage Data and Labor Market Information
Employment wages, projections, as well as state and regional data, are available through the Career Services website. Career Services can assist individuals with locating and understanding the information as it relates to making career decisions.
Career Assessments
Personality and interest-based inventories are available to assist in the decision-making process and in selecting educational programs. IVCC’s on-line career assessment and exploration tool, SkillsMatch helps to identify your skills and receive personalized career and educational recommendations.
