Third-party recruiters – including agencies, organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for employment/internship opportunities other than for their own needs – may post positions at Salt Lake Community College, however, they may not engage in interviewing, informational interviews, Career Fairs (without prior clearance from Salt Lake Community College), or any other type of on-campus recruiting activity. Third-party recruiters must disclose information as follows:

• In order to post jobs, third parties are required to provide the organization/company name for which they are hiring (NOTE: the contact information for a specific position can be that of the third party and does not have to be the organization/company contact).
• When deemed necessary, will disclose information upon request to the Career & Professional Development Center that would enable verification that it is recruiting for a bona fide job opportunity.
• If the organization/company has already posted the position in our database, we will not duplicate the listing for a third party.
• Third-party recruiters may not charge applicants any fees.

• We strongly encourage employers to consider every alternative before revoking an offer of employment.
• Employers who cannot avoid rescinding or deferring employment are advised to consult with Career Services prior to notifying the student(s) affected by this action.
• Employers’ campus reputation can be salvaged if they demonstrate that they have done everything possible to avoid rescinding offers and offer meaningful assistance mitigating the hardships this action will cause.

• Participating companies should not pressure students into accepting so-called exploding offers.
• Career Services defines exploding offers as those that require a student to reply within an unusually short period of time (example: one day), has a special incentive for early acceptance, or any practices that improperly influences and affects job offer acceptances.
• We recommend employers to consider extending offer timelines when necessary as well as keep an open line of communication with students throughout the entire offer/acceptance process.

This guide provides faculty with information about the ethical and legal implications associated with referring students for internship and employment opportunities.

Under NACE, Career Services cannot:

• Give account access or forward resumes to home-based businesses.
• Send resumes to personal e-mail accounts.
• Send resumes or give any employer passwords to corporate “student ambassadors” or “student campus recruiters.” It is a violation of professional standards to provide a student’s resume to a fellow student for review and decision-making.
• Send employers resumes of top students without equitably recruiting all students

The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act 1989 (DFSCA) provides, “as a condition of receiving funds or any form of financial assistance under any Federal program, an institution of Higher Education must certify that it has adopted and implemented a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs or alcohol by students and employees.” Further, under the DFSCA, institutions of Higher Education must employ “standards of conduct that clearly prohibit, at a minimum, the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on its property or as part of its activities.”

Dispensaries (i.e. retail shops), cultivators or manufacturers of THC infused edibles are examples of businesses that directly work with marijuana, a federally illicit drug.  However, many businesses fall into a gray area including ancillary (e.g. a grow-light manufacturer) businesses, real estate leasing businesses, consumption device and consulting businesses, among others. 

In order to ensure compliance with federal law, Career Services will not promote internships or work opportunities at companies that may possess or come into contact with marijuana products.  Additionally, Career Services will not host internships for credit where a student may come into contact with marijuana products (including work with a company’s clients, attendance at marijuana conventions, etc.).

Salt Lake Community College supports paying students equitably for internships and does not support unpaid internships. Learn more about the benefits of paying your interns.
