Student Services

The Student Employment Office, located in Career Services (MLK 3rd floor Suite 333), was created to provide a “one stop resource” for DSU students. The office is dedicated to helping students locate jobs on campus as well as local off campus jobs and ensuring that students maximize the value of their employment experiences.

Professional dress is the most conservative type of business wear.  It’s what you’ll be expected to wear for an interview, no matter what industry you are interviewing for, and in a professional work environment. Professional dress for women would include a business suit or pants suit, or dress and jacket.  For men, it means a business suit or a blazer, dress pants and a tie. Delaware State University has many programs and events that require professional dress to participate such as the College of Business and Freshman Forums, Career Fairs, and conferences to name a few. See a slideshow of appropriate attire and if you need additional coaching, come by our office for assistance.

Career Fairs are designed for students to meet with employers or graduate school admissions counselors to apply for actual internships, cooperative education, full-time or part-time jobs, graduate school, and volunteer opportunities. Students can explore career options, conduct employer information interviews, or apply for positions. It’s also an opportunity for employers to share career options within their organizations with you. This interaction prepares you to be marketable, exceed employer expectations and to efficiently transition from the classroom to the formal occupational setting. This event is held once during the fall semester and once during the spring semester and is open to all majors and all academic levels (freshmen through graduate students). Professional dress is required.

Internships are a wonderful way for students to explore career options and gain career experience. Internships can be located through a variety of ways including networking with departmental faculty, applying through organizational websites, career fairs.

Cooperative Education (Co-op) is no longer managed by Career Services. Each department now manages its own cooperative education program.  Please stop by your departments main office for details.
