Career Services
Brightpoint Career Services assists students, alumni, and community members in understanding their career-related interests, individual values, and strengths. We guide students through exploring careers, conducting a job or internship search, creating résumés and cover letters, building an online presence, assisting with interview preparation, and networking/informational interviews.
We also build relationships with quality employers and connect them to Brightpoint students and alumni through on-campus recruiting, career fairs, and Handshake. Learn how to apply for employment opportunities with Handshake.
Students and alumni who would like to make a career advising appointment may do so through Navigate (in the MyBrightpoint portal) or by contacting the Help Hub. Community members are welcome to receive career guidance at all Career Services workshops and career fairs. Please see the schedule at the bottom of this page for dates and times of events.
If you are an employer who would like to engage with Brightpoint students and alumni please see our employer page or email the Career and Internship Coordinator.
Brightpoint Online Job Board
Brightpoint Community College uses Handshake as our online job board platform. Students may access Handshake through their MyBrightpoint portal. Alumni and community members may request access to Brightpoint’s Handshake page by emailing the Career and Internship Coordinator.
Employers who wish to post jobs may email Career Services for information about services available and upcoming recruiting opportunities.
Professional Clothing Closet
Students and alumni in need of professional apparel for a career fair, interview, job or internship, are invited to visit the Professional Clothing Closets at the Chester Campus, outside of M110 in Moyar Hall, and at the Midlothian Campus, in the student lounge in Hamel Hall. The clothing is free and yours to keep.
