Self-Developed Jobs

If you already know the type of position or specific company that would be a stepping-stone towards your career goals, you may choose to pursue a self-developed job.

The majority of our students pursue self-developed jobs. Students who have been successful finding their own employment usually refer to and build upon their networks in order to gain opportunities. Although pursuing self-developed jobs can be more work, there are valuable skills to be gained that will be beneficial beyond graduation.

Job descriptions for self-developed jobs must be submitted to your Career and Recruitment Specialist for approval. Self-developed jobs must be business-specific and meet our accreditation requirements.
