The Colorado College Career Center forbids discrimination based on sex, race, color, religion, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, arrest record, or disability.

The Colorado College Career Center adheres to the NACE policy, which states that serving alcohol should not be a part of the recruitment process. Therefore, all recruiting activities, including all student engagement events, will be alcohol-free.

Colorado College prohibits any commercial selling or solicitation on campus that is not sponsored or sanctioned by the university. The Career Center requests that organizations do not utilize student groups or student contacts to facilitate such commercial endeavors.

If an employer hires a third-party guerrilla marketing company to run marketing campaigns on campus, the employer must check with the Colorado College Career Center to be sure that the nontraditional channels fall within the Colorado College policies.

In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act, interviews must be made available to all interested students who meet the permanent work authorization requirements for other than practical training purposes, regardless of their citizenship. If United States citizenship is required by your company, please indicate this requirement in the job description of any position for which you are recruiting. Please see the US Department of Justice “Best Practices for Recruiting and Hiring Workers” for more information and guidelines.

A job or internship posting in Handshake does not reflect the endorsement of the company or role by Colorado College or the Colorado College Career Center.

The Colorado College Career Center, via Handshake, reviews all employer requests and job postings. With approval processes in place, we do our best to not approve fraudulent employers or fraudulent job/internship postings.

We will not post any job or position that requires a financial investment from our students or alumni. Your postings should not require any employment fees or purchase requirements (examples include: opportunities that require the purchase of supplies or training kits, fee-based placements or training, etc.).

The Colorado College Career Center will not approve job or internship postings or recruiting activities involved with the use, production, testing, distribution, or funding of recreational or medical marijuana or CBD. As the use of marijuana is illegal at the federal level, we comply with federal law.

Third-party recruiters who wish to post opportunities within the Colorado College Career Center job database, Handshake, must agree to the following terms and conditions:

• The third-party recruiter must agree to disclose the name of the employer, as well as the position description. The client’s name must appear in the title of the position.
• Students and alumni will not be charged a fee for the third-party recruiter’s services.
• The third-party recruiter can be listed as the contact for student/alumni cover letters and resumes.
• If a Colorado College student or alumnus is NOT selected for the specific position listed in Colorado College Handshake that resume will NOT be put into the recruiter’s general pool of candidates without the written consent of the individual.

This agreement will remain in effect for all positions posted through the third-party recruiter. We reserve the right to refuse or remove any postings that do not adhere to our terms and conditions. Any violation of these terms will result in the loss of access to Colorado College Handshake.

In support of the Colorado College Office of Sustainability, employers should refrain from bringing large quantities of giveaway items to distribute to students attending their student engagement events, office hours or other recruiting events. This includes logo merchandise and company products and applies to any employer conducting school-facilitated recruiting on the Colorado College campus or at a nearby location. As an alternative, a company may bring a few products to display or conduct a raffle-style giveaway for a few attendees.

We recognize many recruiters view these giveaways as visible ways to demonstrate commitment to Colorado College recruiting and to showcase the company and its products. Yet packaging, shipping, and distribution – which are necessary to make the giveaways possible – consume natural resources and create waste when extra products are left after the event. You will be responsible to take any remaining giveaways with you when you depart campus. The Career Center will not be responsible for distributing remaining items.

The Career Center follows the direction of Colorado College for inclement weather. When Colorado College is closed, the Career Center is closed and all events are canceled. The Employer Relations team will work with employers on the best strategy to reschedule canceled events. Please visit the Emergency Preparedness page for the most up-to-date information.

If you have questions regarding employer policies (or procedures not addressed here), contact us at hireatiger@coloradocollege.edu.

Employers posting internships in Colorado College Handshake should review the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division guidelines on compensation. This DOL Fact Sheet provides information on whether workers are considered unpaid interns or paid employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). It is expected that employers who post internships are in compliance with these criteria.

Please be aware that the decision to award academic credit is made between students,their academic departments, and our academic programs. Most academic departments at Colorado College do not offer academic credit for internships. Academic credit should not replace compensation for work performed during an internship and does not automatically ensure compliance with the FLSA.
