Explore Careers + Get Guidance
If you’re not ready or able to swing by our office, there are a few ways you can get help online:
Career Coach was made especially for Contra Costa Community College District students.
You can start using it by taking a quick, six-question assessment that will help you discover careers that match your interests.
Or, if you already have a career in mind, it can tell you a lot about it, like what the local job market is like, how you might spend your days and what education and training you’ll need to be successful.
What Can I Do with This Major helps you explore careers related to a field you’re already interested in.
O*NET OnLine can help you find careers by field, outlook or interest. It can also give you important information about life in those careers, like what personal qualities are important for success and how happy other people in that field are.
Career Education programs at CCC can prepare you for careers in high-demand fields by combining technical, job-specific training with core academics. Some of them can have you ready for entry-level positions in just one or two semesters. And, if none of those fields interest you, we have plenty of other programs to choose from.
California CareerZone can help you discover careers tied to your interests, values and skills.
California Occupational Guides can give you detailed, statewide information about wages, outlook, education and licensing requirements for about 300 different careers.
And California’s Employment Development Department also offers job market information to help you make informed career choices.
Find a Job or Internship
The first step in finding a job is usually creating a resume. Our Resume Builder will help you do just that.
Then, you can use it to apply for local jobs through our online job board.
The job board also lists internship opportunities. Internships typically do not pay, but you can use them to get college credit, learn new skills and gain experience for your resume.
When you find a job, remember that you can also earn college credit for the learning you do there. Check out Cooperative Work Experience for more information about how.

For Employers
If you’re an employer we have two options for you to work with our students and alumni. The first option is for employers ready to employ our students and alumni using our Handshake job board where you can post jobs to our students and alumni. The second option is for employers wanting to create an internship for our student or would like to create a partnership with CCC through (virtual) activities: Guest Speaker, Tour, or Advisory Committee Support. Employers can complete the Earn and Learn Form.
