Search for Jobs and Internships on Handshake
City Colleges students and alumni can use Handshake, an online job and internship platform, to search for and find meaningful careers. With Handshake, you can create a profile showcasing your experiences, search and apply for openings from participating employers, schedule interviews, and access career resources.

Find Work–Based Learning Opportunities
Work-based learning opportunities, including apprenticeships, internships, and micro-internships, allow students to gain hands-on workplace experience with one of City Colleges’ employer partners. These experiences help students apply what they have learned in the classroom on the job and can range from a few weeks to a few years.
