Spartan Engineer Welcome

Join other new Engineering students for our first program of Spring 2023, hosted by ESSC as part of the Engineer Success Program. You will meet with staff and faculty members to learn about research, internship and their course catalog. You will also have opportunities to join different breakout rooms to learn about services on campus and upcoming workshops such as time management and study skills.

The Career Center hosts Job and Internship Fairs each semester. All career events as well as jobs and internships are posted in SJSU Handshake. Other digital tools are the Vmock resume review tool and the YJ2CR Canvas course. There's also plenty of career coaching and support, as well as student resource groups.
