Internships The Career Center acts as a clearing house for advertising internships. Internships are one-semester work experiences which provide students with the opportunity to gain career-related skills in a real-world work setting. They also provide employers an opportunity to observe the intern’s performance, with the possibility of future employment. Internships can be paid or unpaid and may be considered for academic credit. For an internship to count as academic credit they must be coordinated through the student’s academic department, supervised by a faculty member, and the student must be enrolled in a formal internship course. The Career Center does not administer formal internship programs nor offer academic credit for internships. Students and employers must coordinate this through the student’s academic department.
4202 E Fowler Ave SVC 2088 Tampa, FL 33620-6930 Ph. (813) 974-2171
Cooperative Education The University’s Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program is administered by the Career Center. Co-op Employers provide on-site training opportunities which are directly related to a student’s major. Students are paid by their employer, receive a grade from their Co-op Instructor, and receive recognition on their official transcript for the participation in Co-op. Therefore, Co-op is an academic course and must follow the academic calendar.
Student Testimonial Level Joseph, MIS
There are many benefits to participating in Co-op: • Employers are able to choose from a prescreened list of candidates • Only candidates with excellent academic records who have proven their desire and ability to gain real world experience are admitted into the Co-op program • Students are invested in succeeding in their Co-op experience because they will be receiving a grade along with experience and professional development • Employers will be able to establish a pipeline of highly motivated new professionals for their organization, which can help build a stronger and more capable future workforce • Employers will create brand awareness for their organization on campus amongst the students that they wish to hire
Utilizing the Career Center's cooperative education program, I found a position as a Web Communications Support Student with Seminole Electric Cooperative. Through this position I gained experience in my major that I can apply to any future positions. The counselors at the Career Center were helpful and insightful when assisting me with my resume and interview skills. They are a definite factor in aiding my success in finding an internship and to my professional maturation. I'm thankful for their services.

Co-op Vs. Internships
Cooperative Education is a semester-long course with an academic component taught on-line that is administered by the USF Career Center while the student is accumulating practical on-site training with an employer.
It is a formal course which allows students to gain paid, real world training in their chosen career field.
Employers will recruit from a prescreened candidate pool. Students from this pool have been required to tailor their application materials using the USF Career Center’s standards.
Internships can vary in length. The Career Center does not administer a concurrent course, but students can discuss the option of obtaining academic credit with their major department.
Internships can be paid or unpaid, but employers must comply with all laws and pay special attention to the Department of Labor standards for unpaid internships.
Applicants are not from a prescreened candidate pool.
Students are not required to register for a course to do an internship. Thus, a grade for the internship experience will not show up on a student’s transcript unless a student has been given permission from his/her major department to enroll in academic credit for the internship. Requirements for the department’s internship course may be different than those required for Co-op.
Students who receive and accept a Co-op training offer, will be required to register for a Co-op Course which is for “0” credit and is graded “S” or “U” (Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory).
Co-op will appear on the student’s transcript each semester they participate in Co-op.
Co-op students can choose from an alternating plan and train 35 – 40 hours a week or a parallel plan and train 15 – 25 hours a week.
The Career Center does not coordinate the approval process for a student who wants to receive credit for an internship.
Students must have a min. 2.5 GPA and have completed a min. of 45 hours of coursework. Students must have declared a major and be accepted into their academic department.
Students determine how many internship hours they will work with the employer that will become their supervisor.
Students should not be on academic probation, so they should have a 2.0 GPA or higher; there is no requirement that a student must declare a major; any curriculum requirements are decided on by the employer.
4202 E Fowler Ave SVC 2088 Tampa, FL 33620-6930 Ph. (813) 974-2171
Co-op Vs. Internships Our Expectations of Employers for Co-op •
Provide on-the-job training for the designated training period.
•
Supervision of daily work performance. An initial sit-down at the beginning of the term to determine 3 learning objectives for the student to accomplish during that semester
•
Provide on-going mentoring and feedback throughout the semester
•
Completion of a final evaluation, provided by the student, at the end of the training period that reviews the students work performance and skill development
Like 1. 2.

what you see? Follow these steps to become a Co-op employer:
Register with us through Career Connections and indicate in the Co-op Education Agreement that you would like to participate (the agreement is included in your Career Connections registration). Post your Co-op position via Career Connections with a position type of Co-op only. You should also include “Co-op” at the end of the job title. Contact/respond to students from the Co-op candidate pool you’re interested in and set up interviews. Once you hire a student, notify the Career Center so we can deactivate your listing and start the process of getting the student registered for the course.

Events On Campus Each semester the Career Center coordinates numerous fairs and events related to employers recruitment efforts. These events can assist you in finding qualified candidates and branding your organization on campus. All events are open to all USF students and alumni.
Career Fairs at the University of South Florida There are several fairs that take place throughout the year. Our Career Networking Fair – a campus-wide career fair scheduled at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters for organizations hiring for full-time, co-op, and internship opportunities. This fair is held once per semester and approximately 1,800 job seekers in attendance (including alumni). The Internship & Part-Time Job Fair provides organizations with an opportunity to meet with potential candidates for internship, part-time and/or summer employment. This fair is also held once a semester – usually in September and April. A new addition to our fair schedule for the spring semester is the Accounting Career Fair. Held in the early spring this fair will provide an opportunity for those employers who are looking to network with accounting students and alumni and discuss full-time positions, cooperative education positions or internships.
4202 E Fowler Ave SVC 2088 Tampa, FL 33620-6930 Ph. (813) 974-2171
Events On Campus Careers and Coffee During this event, we invite one employer to showcase their organization and available opportunities by “having coffee” with our students in the USF Library’s Starbucks.
Employer of the Week This is a great, free opportunity to host a table in the College of Business or the College of Engineering in high traffic areas. Each Tuesday, one employer is highlighted during this event. The Employer of the Week provide an informal opportunity to meet with students.
Employer Facility Tours A great way to create interest in your organization and open positions is to work with us to organize a tour of your facility. The tours can be open to student, alumni, and faculty and staff participation. You choose!
Employer Led Workshops – You Pick the Topic This opportunity allows you to choose a topic you would like to help our students and alumni learn about. Topics can be similar, or the same as, what we cover during our “Prepare for the Fair” event (e.g. résumé critiques, networking, dress for success, strategic job searching).
Info Sessions The opportunity allows employers to provide interested candidates basic information about their organization (i.e. current opportunities, general profile information, organizational culture, career paths, job benefits, interview process, etc.) The most successful Information Sessions are held on campus. Employers have the opportunity to provide refreshments and are encouraged to allow time for candidates to ask questions and network with recruiters. In addition, door prizes and give-aways are popular with students. Many employers choose to hold their Info Session prior to an on-campus interview or career networking fair.
Faculty Luncheons Are you interested in networking with our faculty and learning more about classroom curriculum? Talk to us about hosting a luncheon for select faculty members. The luncheon can be the size of your choosing and the location and food of your choosing.
4202 E Fowler Ave SVC 2088 Tampa, FL 33620-6930 Ph. (813) 974-2171
Events On Campus Mock Interviews Many of our students seek opportunities to polish their interview skills. You can work with us to set up a mock interview schedule that will allow you to interact with students and alumni, as well as give our student and alumni the opportunity to gain insightful, applicable feedback.
“Prepare for the Fair” Workshops Events are held the week prior to the Career Networking Fair each semester to prepare students for the fair. Employers are invited to present a career topic (e.g. résumé critiques, networking, dress for success). This is a great recruitment strategy for organizations who would like to increase their visibility on campus prior to the fair.
Professional Etiquette Dinner This event offers USF students and alumni an opportunity to polish their dining etiquette skills. While this is not a recruiting event for employers, sponsorships are available for organizations that would like to increase their name recognition oncampus.
Student Organization Presentations Many student organizations welcome recruiters and companies to speak at their meetings regarding career-related topics. This is a great activity to brand and pre-screen potential candidates. Requests to present are made directly to the student organization. Click on the button to see a list of student organizations.
Bull Market Each Wednesday, from 10am – 2pm, vendors gather outside of the Marshall Center on campus to promote their products and/or services. This is an excellent way for employers to gain quick visibility. For more information about how to register, click on the button.
Have a great idea for an event you would like to host on campus? Tell us about it! We are always looking for fun and innovate events to host with employers on campus.

Events Off Campus Statewide Job Fair This event is coordinated by all of the Florida state universities and is held in mid-May at the University of Central Florida.
Big East Career Fair & Big East e-Fairs The Big East Career Fair held in New York City during the spring is open to all students and alumni from the Beg East Conference schools. The Big East Career Consortium offers two e-Fairs, one in the fall and spring. The spring e-Fair typically happens soon after the Big East Career Fair . Both e-Fairs offer internships, Co-op, and full-time, professional positions to the students and alumni of participating colleges and universities of the "Big East" Conference schools. Previous Big East e-Fairs have set records in numbers of participating employers and candidates.
What is an e-Fair? An e-fair is an entirely Internet based job fair. Employers submit information about their organizations and hiring needs, and candidates search for positions online and submit resumes directly to employers.

Third Party Employers Policy Third Party Employers The University of South Florida Career Center works with selected Third Party Employment Services (TPES), doing business as a direct employer or as contractor with the direct hiring employer, to provide students access to their employment opportunities. Since the Career Center can neither research nor endorse TPES agencies, guidelines have been established for the protection of students and alumni. The Career Center, using due diligence, ensures to the best of its ability that third party employers participating in recruitment are operating as an employer as well as adhering to NACE state and federal ethical and legal recruitment standards and principles. Definition of third-party employer: Third-party employers are agencies, organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time, or full-time employment opportunities other than for their own needs. This includes entities that refer or recruit for profit or not-for-profit, and it includes agencies that collect student information to be disclosed to employers for purposes of recruitment and employment. POLICY Any TPES that is not defined as an employer (see definition above) is not eligible to use career center recruitment services. However, these TPES may send a job listing for inclusion in a Third Party Employer Notebook, maintained in the career library. • TPES that charge a fee to the candidate will make them ineligible to use any recruitment service • Any TPES agency that is recruiting to fill their own agency position; will have the same access to recruitment services as any other direct hiring employer. • Any TPES that is the direct hiring party (temporary or staffing service) or contracted to work as or provide a service to the direct hiring party (outsourcing contractors or leasing agents)is eligible to use all career center recruitment services. • Before any TPES may advertise a position for one of their clients they must identify the employer client to the Career Center. The name of the employer client must be listed in the job advertisement. The advertisement must also clearly indicate that the candidate will be working through a third party agency. If the TPES does not release this information or is unwilling to make the employer client name pubic, the position will not be advertised. Under no circumstances will positions be advertised for which a direct employer has interviewed or plans to interview candidates through the Career Center’s on-campus interview program or has already posted the position with the Career Center. • TPES must agree to the following before being allowed to use any recruitment service: • NO fees will be charged to the candidate(s) at any time throughout the employment process. • That they and the client organization they represent is an equal opportunity employer. • Information about the candidate(s) will be distributed ONLY to the client organization of the position being advertised and will not be referred to other positions and/or client organizations. • Will disclose to students the name(s) of the client, or clients, that the third-party recruiter is representing and to whom the students' credentials will be disclosed. • Third-party recruiters will not disclose to any employer, including the client-employer, any student information without obtaining prior written consent from the student. Under no circumstances can student information be disclosed for other than the original recruiting purposes nor can it be sold or provided to other entities. • Third-party recruiters attending career fairs will represent employers who have authorized them to recruit on their behalf and will disclose to career services the names of the represented client employers. Any reported breach of these policies and/or agreement will result in de-activation of the TPES on-line account and termination of access to all recruitment services.
Right to Refuse: The Career Center reserves the right to deny access and participation to any third party employer. 4202 E Fowler Ave SVC 2088 Tampa, FL 33620-6930 Ph. (813) 974-2171
