Certified Candidate Program

The Certified Candidate Program will give you an extra edge during your search for an internship, co-op or permanent job. To become a Certified Candidate you must meet a series of requirements, which will prepare you for your job search. The requirements include:

Becoming a Certified Candidate


1. Have GPA verified by your CMC Advisor (3.5 minimum)
2. Attend a Becoming a Certified Candidate Orientation
3. Complete California Personality Inventory Assessment
4. Attend the three-part "Getting a Job" workshop series
5. Attend Interviewing Skills workshop
6. Attend an "Etiquette Lunch/Dinner"
7. Have your resume critiqued by your CMC Advisor
8. Schedule an optional Mock Interview

After successfully completing the first seven requirements, you will be certified by the CMC as a job candidate who we think will be a successful employee. With this Certified Candidate distinction, we will then present you to our Preferred Employers who will have exclusive access to your resume and cover letter. If you are not offered employment with a Preferred Employer, we will present you to the entire network of IIT employers as a Certified Candidate.
