What's Job Zone?

RIT Job Zone is the web-based system used by RIT’s Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services and selected employers (through NACElink) to post job opportunities for co-op, graduating students and alumni. It enables Students and Alumni to search for all types of jobs, including full-time and co-op employment, apply for jobs online, receive notification of new job openings that fit your job-search profile, store resumes, and much more. You can access it through the Student, Alumni or Employer portal page.
