Search For Internships & Jobs

The most effective way to identify potential opportunities is through networking. Use our Networking Contact Log to keep track of your contacts, as well as internships and jobs you find. Handshake, LinkedIn, and online job boards are other ways to identify opportunities.

Career & Professional Development (CPD) makes no representations or guarantees about the opportunities posted on its website. While CPD makes every effort to educate and empower students in obtaining their desired career goals, this responsibility ultimately lies with the student. High Point University Career & Professional Development posts job listings on Handshake for the convenience of students. It is the responsibility of students to perform due diligence in researching employers when applying for or accepting private, off-campus employment and to thoroughly research the facts and reputation of each organization to which they are applying. Students should be prudent and use common sense and caution when applying for or accepting any position.

Handshake is the number one way college students get hired. This career management platform allows students and alumni to access full-time, part-time, internship and volunteer opportunities posted directly by the employer or through Career & Professional Development.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking tool. You can use LinkedIn to connect to professionals in organizations that interest you, HPU alumni, and actual job postings. LinkedIn is also a great tool for researching the job market within specific fields and geographic locations.
