When employers look to hire graduates, the first thing they look for (after good grades) is work experience. They want to hire students who have worked in internships and co-op jobs.  NJIT's Division of Career Development Services helps students find those jobs.

The office has a database that lists co-ops and internships. And staff members there help students edit their resumes, refine their job searches and learn how to interview well.  The office does mock interviews with students, which can be videotaped. This way, students can watch themselves and adjust their interviewing techniques. Twice a year, the career center hosts career fairs where the top employers in the metro region come to recruit NJIT students. 

  • Co-op Placement:  Many students elect for one or more semesters of Cooperative Education, earning academic credit while gaining paid real-world experience at area businesses. Co-op students average of $15 per hour and may earn as much as $10,000 a year.
  • Community Service Assignments: Students can also gain experience while making a significant contribution to the community through the NJIT Service Corps.
  • Career Planning:  Career Development Services (CDS) provides career advisement and hosts on-campus recruitment and job fairs. Check out the on-line Career Resources Center
