Resources for the Classroom
The Career Advancement Center provides resources for use in the classroom on a variety of career and job-search related topics. As well, we have several online tools to assist students in their career research – please feel free to explore our site to familiarize yourself with our student resources.
We can assist you in adding career competencies to your learning objectives to improve classroom to work skills identification for our students.

Legal Q&A: Can the Career Advancement Center or Faculty PLACE Students with an Employer?
If the Career Advancement Center or faculty pre-screen candidates, they are, in effect, acting as an employment agency, and the relevant laws that apply to an agency would apply to the center or faculty member. In this regard, federal, and most state, anti-discrimination laws prohibit discrimination in “referral practices.” In this regard, an employment agency may not discriminate in classifications or referrals for employment; circulate any discriminatory statement, advertisement, or publication; or use discriminatory application forms or inquiries made in connection with prospective employment. Further, if an employment agency advances an employer’s discriminatory practices, both the employer and the agency may be held liable for discrimination. As such, if a career center prescreens candidates in a discriminatory manner, it may be exposed to potential liability.
