Career Connect

Our office is here to help and support you as we experience this temporary, unprecedented way of life. We Tigers will continue to find normalcy by connecting with one another and continuing to look forward to our future.

Career Connect

Career Connect is RIT’s preferred platform to connect our students with their future. Easily find the best co-ops, internships, full-time jobs, and events to help accelerate your career forward.

Explore jobs, employers, events, and career center resources through your Career Connect welcome page. Check out the companies recruiting through co-op or full-time job postings. Our employer partners and our staff are preparing virtual workshops and information sessions events for the remaining semester. You can also utilize free career resources like Vault, Portfolium, GoinGlobal, and more.

Making an Appointment

You are able to request an appointment with your career services coordinator or a career counselor. Log in to Career Connect and select Appointments from the navigation. Look for your appointment approval, and the appointment reminder, because they will both contain the Zoom meeting link.

NOTE: Due to COVID-19 social distancing protocol, all our appointments will be held online.
