Guaranteed Outcomes
If you complete all the requirements of the program and do not secure a job or graduate school placement within six months of graduation, FSC will step in with either:
- Loan Assistance - Covering FSC-specific loan payments for up to three months while you continue your job search.
- Graduate Tuition Waiver - Cover tuition for six graduate credits at FSC.
How It Works
The FSC Career Guarantee is tailored for first-time, first-year college students. Students enroll in the program during their first year and follow a four-year sequence of career preparation activities. Highlights include:
- Year 1 - Build the foundation by meeting with Career Services, setting up a Handshake account, and completing the Internship Ready course.
- Year 2 - Explore career interests through informational interviews and continued engagement with Career Services events.
- Year 3 - Dive into leadership roles, complete internships, and refine career goals with targeted strategies.
- Year 4 - Execute the plan by applying to jobs or graduate programs, completing mock interviews, and showcasing a competitive resume or CV.
What Students Need to Do
To qualify for the FSC Career Guarantee, students must:
- Enroll as full-time first-year students (transfer students are ineligible).
- Declare a major by the first day of junior year.
- Maintain at least a 2.8 GPA throughout the program.
- Complete two approved internships or experiential learning opportunities.
- Actively engage in all required activities for the program, even if planning to graduate a semester or a year early.
- Begin the job search by the start of their final year, completing job or graduate school applications, and any additional recommendations from the Office of Career Services.
- Meet any legal or regulatory requirements of the chosen field.
- Graduate within 4 years of enrollment.*
* Students intending to graduate a year or semester early must complete all four-year program requirements within a condensed timeframe. Those planning to graduate from Florida Southern College in less than three years, or take a gap year, are not eligible for the program.
