In order to protect students from potential fraudulent employers, and to ensure that our Employer Partners are meeting accreditation requirements, Career Development requires an up-to-date business license on file for all of its Employer Partners.

Please request access to College Central Network by creating an Employer Profile in the portal. After requesting access, a Career Development staff member will review and respond to the employer profile in College Central Network.

Note: Submitting a request for access to Berkshire Community College in College Central Network does not guarantee access.

Approved Employer Partners are given access to post jobs to the portal to review by Career Development staff. To obtain access to review screened resumes by Career Development staff, Employer Partners must provide an electronic copy of a valid business license or state approved licensure to careers@berkshirecc.edu. This document will be stored electronically through document expiration and will not be shared publicly. Career Development staff will communicate with the primary contact at the time of expiration for renewal.

We will not post positions submitted under the following conditions:

• The student must pay a fee to participate in a work experience or pay any type of fee for training, or required to purchase/rent/lease any type of sales kit or presentation supplies.
• Entrepreneurial announcements or commission only positions will not be posted.
• CDC does not provide recruitment/posting services to businesses in a home office setting. Businesses must be established and licensed and located in commercial space.
• The college does not permit recruitment for positions which involve door to door or on-campus solicitation, sales, or posting materials, products, or services.
• Positions that require job seekers to provide money up-front for a "start-up" business.
• Positions that ask job seekers to deposit a check in an organization's back account or wire money to an unknown individual.

The Career Development Center seeks to create a safe environment for BCC students to pursue their career interests and grow professionally. Third Party Search Agencies must meet the following requirements detailed below:

• Reveal the identity of the employer being represented and the nature of the relationship between the agency and the employer, and permit Career Development to verify such information by contacting the employer directly.
• Charge no fees to the candidate.
• If requested, provide a position description for a valid opening.
• In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, only release candidate information provided by students through the university exclusively and only to the identified employer. Re-disclosure of candidate information is not permitted.

In order to ensure a safe work experience, the Career Development Center will not post job opportunities for private employers seeking temporary assistance from our student population. We only post positions based at commercial businesses, non-profits and government agencies.

Home-based business, in-home childcare or nanny positions will not be posted. This policy applies to all opportunities, including full-time, internship and part-time positions.

As an alternative, you may pursue a classified ad in the Berkshire Eagle newspaper (800) 245-0254 (Option 4) or other certified sites like SitterCity or Care.com.

If you would like to host a student who is interested in your career field for a tour of your organization, an informational interview, or job shadow, please contact our office before you extend the opportunity. We will be happy to coordinate the visiting process.

NOTE: We only refer students who are ready for such visits.

If you would like to recruit a high number of students during peak traffic times or on campus interviewing On-site Tabling as your option!

Contact us at careers@berkshirecc.edu or 413-236-1637.

The Career Development Center works with Employer Partners, faculty, and staff to help identify and support students seeking internship opportunities. Before an internship is posted or promoted to Berkshire Community College students and eligible alumni, the position must adhere to Massachusetts state law and guidelines for Training and Vocational Programs and Volunteer Work as outlined by the State of Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards.

While the preference is that our students receive monetary compensation for their work, we understand that certain career fields offer formal and informal experiential compensation and other benefits as industry standard practice. Unpaid internship opportunities must meet the criteria provided by the State of Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards and will be vetted by Career Development Center staff.

Contact our office if you would like to develop an internship opportunity at your company or organization.
