Career Services 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.

Career Services does not administer formal internship programs nor offer academic

credit for internships. Students and employers must coordinate this through the

student’s academic department.

Internships

The University’s Cooperative Education

(Co-op) Program is administered by Career

Services. 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.

There are many benefits to

participating in Co-op:

• Employers are able to choose from a pre-

screened 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

Student Testimonial Level Joseph, MIS

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.

Cooperative Education

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.

Career Services does not coordinate the

approval process for a student who wants

to receive credit for an internship.

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.

Cooperative Education is a semester-long

course with an academic component

taught on-line that is administered by USF

Career Services 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 USF Career

Services standards.

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.

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.

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 what you see? Follow these steps to become a Co-op employer:

1. Register with us through Employ-A-Bull and indicate in the Co-op

Education Agreement that you would like to participate (the agreement is

included in your Employ-A-Bull registration).

2. Post your Co-op position via Employ-A-Bull with a position type of Co-op

only. You should also include “Co-op” at the end of the job title.

3. Contact/respond to students from the Co-op candidate pool you’re

interested in and set up interviews.

4. Once you hire a student, notify Career Services so we can deactivate

your listing and start the process of getting the student registered for the

course.

Co-op Vs. Internships

Interviewing at USF On-Campus Interviews take place in Career Services in our Interview Suites, providing you

with a comfortable location that allows you to meet with many students in one visit to

campus. You may interview for full-time positions, internships or co-op positions.

Employers that meet students at the Career Fair or through events on campus giving

them total control of their interview schedule. The week following the Career Fair is

exclusively dedicated to this type of schedule but they can be held at any point during the

semester.

Two types of Employer Managed Schedules:

Employer Managed – Resume Collection Schedules allow students to see the

employer, position and date of the Schedule as well as submit resumes for

consideration through Employ-A-Bull.

Employer Managed – Rooms only Schedules are blocked entirely from student

view on Employ-A-Bull.

Each semester Career Services 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 campus-wide two day

Career Fair is 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 1,500 job seekers in attendance (including alumni).

The Accounting Career Fair, also held in early fall and spring, provides 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.

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.

The Statewide Job Fair is coordinated by all of the Florida state universities and is held in

mid-May at the University of Central Florida.

Events On Campus

Events On Campus

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 provides 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 This 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 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.

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 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 on-campus.

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.

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

Job Posting Policy

The University of South Florida Career Services job listing service is intended to provide USF students

and alumni with current information on employment opportunities. Advertisement of a job vacancy in

Employ-A-Bull does not indicate an endorsement or recommendation by the University of South Florida

or Career Services.

Students and alumni are responsible for all necessary precautions when submitting a resume,

interviewing and/or accepting positions listed on the website. It is the user's responsibility to check the

accuracy and reliability of information provided as well as the credentials and integrity of the hiring

organization.

Employers that are the direct hiring authority/organization may advertise part-time (temporary and short

term positions), internships, cooperative education and full-time (degree and non-degree) positions.

Employers must be an equal opportunity employer and adhere to the National Association of College &

Employers (NACE) ethical and legal standards of recruitment.

Employers must have an active account in Employ-A-Bull for each organization for which they are

hiring. If an employer has more than one organization that he/she is recruiting for they must establish a

separate account for that organization.

Employers who access student resumes for other than legitimate recruitment purposes will be blocked

from further use of Career Services recruitment services.

Non-direct hiring employers (defined as employers who recruit but do not pay the salary of the employee)

may not advertise in Employ-A-Bull but may place a printed copy of a job vacancy in the Third Party

Vacancy Notebook, located in the Career Services Career/Employer Library.

Eligible employers who have been granted active access to Employ-A-Bull may enter their own job

listings.

All employer vacancies are set to pending status until reviewed and approved by the Program Assistant.

Jobs That Can Be Posted: • Full-time, Degree/Non-Degree

• Cooperative Education

• Internships

• Part-time off-campus jobs

Job Posting Content: Only job vacancy announcements can be advertised. Career fairs and/or other career related events

cannot be advertised on the job listing service.

Job content must contain the job title, job description, locations, required qualifications, salary and

directions for applying.

Any “upfront” fees, training or product purchases must be disclosed in the job description.

Vacancy announcement must contain the employer contact information

All necessary information is to be included in the description. The announcement should not instruct

candidates to come to the Career Library for more information.

Posting Timeframe: If the employer does not establish a timeframe for advertising, the job listing will be removed after 90

days.

Right to Refuse: Career Services reserves the right to edit or refuse job advertisements.

Only direct hiring organizations, seeking candidates for internships, Cooperative

Education, and full-time employment (requiring a degree) may conduct scheduled on-

campus interviews. Career Services does not establish the hiring qualifications for the

hiring organization. Employers must adhere to equal employment opportunity laws and

principles for employment professionals as outlined in the National Association of

College & Employers' Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services and

Employment Professionals. Employers may choose an Open and/or Pre-select interview

schedule. Career Services, through Employ-A-Bull, will allow only those candidates with

matching qualifications to apply for and schedule an on-campus interview with the hiring

organization. On-campus interviews are conducted in the Career Services Office, 8:30am-

4:00pm, Monday – Friday, except for official University holidays. Employers may schedule

the interview time that best complements their interview process. Career Services

reserves the right to refuse any direct hiring organization from participation in on-campus

interviews. Employers having any “upfront” fees, training or product purchases must

disclose this in the job description prior to the interview. Employers must note if the

position for which they are hiring is unpaid and optional for credit in the job description,

prior to the interview.

Right to Refuse: Career Services reserves the right to refuse the on-campus interview

service to student/alumni, hiring organization and/or individual recruiter.

On-Campus Interviews Policy

Right to Refuse: Career Services reserves the right to deny access and participation to any third

party employer.

Third Party Employers

The University of South Florida Career Services office 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 Career Services can neither research

nor endorse TPES agencies, guidelines have been established for the protection of students and

alumni. Career Services, 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 Services

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

Services recruitment services.

• Before any TPES may advertise a position for one of their clients they must identify the employer client to

Career Services. 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 Services on-campus

interview program or has already posted the position with Career Services.

• 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.
