At Eckerd, career fairs have evolved into Networking Nights; monthly gatherings connecting students with local employers interested in hiring interns and job seekers. This provides students with ample opportunity to meet with hundreds of professionals and practice their networking skills.

An Eckerd education extends beyond the classroom. Through the support of faculty and staff, students engage in practices that will help them answer some of their most pressing career-related questions. Whether it is research and internships or study abroad and service learning, Eckerd’s winter and summer terms make these opportunities attainable without sacrificing your academics (or social life).

Career staff post thousands of jobs and internships each year in TritonTrack, Eckerd’s jobs database and career tool.

Each year, over 600 students work in more than 1k jobs on-campus. In fact, nearly every department hires student assistants.

Students will learn about these opportunities during Autumn Term, but just know, these positions will help you build professional skills and create lasting relationships with fellow students, faculty, and staff.
