The Career Center Services office maintains the following policies:

Equal Employment Opportunities

Employers recruiting on campus must maintain EEO compliance and follow affirmative action principles in recruitment activities.  Employers should consider all interested students for employment opportunities without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

We reserve the right to refuse service to employers at the discretion of the Career Development Center staff due to any objectionable activities, including, but not limited to:

  • Requiring personal information at the time of application, such as bank and social security numbers
  • Misrepresentation, whether defined by dishonest information or absence of information;

Handshake is Career Service鈥檚 online portal for posting and promoting full-time, part-time, seasonal, and internship opportunities, as well as recruiting events for employers of all types.

All employers must accurately represent their organization and positions and comply with Career Services policies, NACE guidelines, and applicable federal and state labor laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Office of Career Services does not support postings or recruiting activities that involve fees, required purchases, donations, or unpaid training costs. We also do not permit pyramid/multi-level marketing roles, commission-only jobs without clear disclosure, or in-home employment such as babysitting.

The Office of Career Services reserves the right to reject any posting, employer, or event that does not meet institutional, legal, or professional standards.

The Office of Career Services defines third-party recruiters as agencies, organizations, or individuals who recruit candidates on behalf of external employers rather than for their own internal positions.

Third-party recruiters may use Handshake, attend career fairs, and participate in on-campus recruiting, but must clearly identify when they are recruiting for clients versus their own organization. All Handshake postings must reflect active, specific job opportunities and include accurate employer and position details.

Third-party recruiters must comply with the following requirements:

  • Do not charge any fees to students or alumni.
  • Follow all Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action laws and university policies prohibiting discrimination.
  • Clearly identify themselves as third-party recruiters in all profiles and job postings.
  • Disclose client employer names in postings and provide client lists (and retainer agreements if requested).
  • Ensure all job descriptions are accurate and up to date.
  • Use candidate information only for the specified employer in compliance with FERPA and do not re-disclose it.

If recruiting on campus or at career fairs, third-party recruiters must identify all represented employers and adhere to Career Services policies. All candidate referrals and communications must be used solely for the approved employer(s) and purposes.

Unpaid Internship Guidelines

Employers should satisfy the criteria for acceptable unpaid internships established by the United States Department of Labor (DOL).

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires for-profit private sector employers to pay all employees at the rate of not less than current minimum wage. Employers and organizations seeking to post unpaid internships in Handshake must apply the following six criteria when making the determination not to compensate interns:

  1. The internship, even though it includes the actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment.
  2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern.
  3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff.
  4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded.
  5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship.
  6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.

  • Cryptocurrency, bitcoin, tokens, fiat or equity are not acceptable forms of payment.
  • Commission Sales Positions: If no initial base salary is provided, the form of remuneration should be clearly stated in the employer's job descriptions and at the time of the initial interviews. 
  • Postings that request donations, fundraising, application fees, or investments cannot be listed on Handshake.

Internship Recruiting Guidelines

Employers recruiting interns must abide by all policies including the criteria set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). 

  • The experience must be an extension of the classroom: a learning experience that provides for applying the knowledge gained in the classroom. It must not be simply to advance the operations of the employer or be the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.
  • The skills or knowledge learned must be transferable to other employment settings.
  • The experience has a defined beginning and end, and a job description with desired qualifications.
  • There are clearly defined learning objectives/goals related to the professional goals of the student鈥檚 academic coursework. 
  • There is supervision by a professional with expertise and educational and/or professional background in the field of the experience.
  • There is routine feedback by the experienced supervisor.  
  • There are resources, equipment, and facilities provided by the host employer that support learning objectives/goals. 

 

Internships with for-profit companies should be paid at least minimum wage. For-profit companies offering unpaid, stipend, and/or internships that require credit must uphold the 7-factor "primary beneficiary test".

Academic Credit

For all internships considered for credit-bearing purposes at 91探花, it is the student鈥檚 responsibility to contact their faculty advisor and complete their internal university application for internship credit approval.  All internship duties, learning outcomes, or goals need to be vetted by their respective faculty advisor before a student can receive academic credit for an internship experience.
