Asked of All Graduates

Complete the First Destination Survey

Every Illinois Tech graduate is asked to complete the First Destination Survey. It takes a few minutes and it tells us how our graduates are actually faring in the job market, which is what lets us keep improving the support we offer you and the students behind you. It is also the source behind the outcomes data prospective students and employers rely on, so your answer genuinely counts.

Still Searching?

Get Your Foot in the Door

If you are still looking for that first post-graduation opportunity, these programs are open to you as a recent graduate, and they are built to help you gain experience and stand out. Already landed a role? Tell us in the First Destination Survey.

Virtual Internships — Placement Supported

Apply for a part-time virtual internship and get matched with a company somewhere in the world, aligned to your interests, with placement support throughout. There is a $200 program participation fee, charged only if you are selected. Cohorts start several times a year, so check the current start date and application deadline before you apply, and use your Hawk email through the Illinois Tech cohort link.

Questions, including current cohort dates? Email eginger@illinoistech.edu.

AWS Cloud Certifications — Free for Recent Graduates

Strengthen your position with free AWS cloud certification training, still open to you as a recent graduate. Cloud skills read as current to a hiring manager in almost any field, and the credential is independent verification rather than a self-assessment. You must retain your Illinois Tech email to access the training, and the sign-up form refreshes each semester, so start now rather than later.

Career Pathway Courses & Free Certifications

Career Pathway Courses are four for-credit options that build career skills and prepare you for industry certifications. Alongside them, a growing catalog of free industry certifications carries no cost and no prerequisites — a fast way to put a verifiable credential on a resume while you search.

AWS Jam: No Lectures. No Slides. Just the Console.

On Friday, October 2, Illinois Tech Career Services and Experiential Learning is handing you a live AWS environment and a problem to solve in it. An AWS Jam is not a lecture about the cloud and it is not a certification prep session.
