CCCC students will seek out opportunities for full-time and part-time employment, as well as internships. The CCCC Career Services Center has held several workshops -- "Career Fair Etiquette and Network Strategies" and "The Art of Writing a Resume For a Career Fair" - to prepare students for the event.
