Whether you’re interested in a work-study position on campus, a part-time position in the Vermillion area or a summer internship in another city, USD offers a variety of services and resources to help connect current students with employment opportunities.
Here are five of the big ones:
1. Coyote Careers
Coyote Careers is USD’s career services manager powered by Symplicity. You can use Coyote Careers to apply for all types of jobs (on-campus, work-study, part-time work and full-time careers). Plus, there’s an app.
2. Work Study
The Federal Work Study Program (FWS) provides students with the opportunity to earn money for their educational expenses. This program is available to undergraduate and graduate students in need of financial assistance, which is determined by the Financial Aid Office through the information provided on the FAFSA. If you have questions about your eligibility, you can contact the Financial Aid Office.
3. Coyote Career Kickstart
Coyote Career Kickstart is a project funded by the US Department of Education for qualifying freshmen from rural communities. This program is more than just another group to join — it can support you with career design tools, professional practice opportunities and an employment network.
4. Center for Career Design
From career coaching and employer connections to job fairs, workshops and more, the Center for Career Design can help you find and prepare for employment opportunities while you’re still a student.
5. Departments & Facilities
Students in the Beacom School of Business, the School of Education and the Knudson School of Law have dedicated career offices. Many other majors and programs also have well-developed internship programs, employer networks and specialized professional development. If you have questions about what’s available to you, you can contact your department or email career@usd.edu.
