Career Services has developed the following procedures to ensure that Clark State students and alumni are treated fairly and are being recruited for viable positions. The career center reserves the right to choose the companies, agencies, organizations and schools for recruiting privileges. Companies, agencies, organizations or schools who meet one or more of the following definitions shall be denied recruiting privileges:

  • Commission-Only Employment and Entrepreneurial Opportunities – Employers and individuals offering employment/entrepreneurial opportunities who do not pay a base salary equal to or greater than the federal minimum wage and comply with federal, state and local regulations.
  • Upfront Product Purchase – Employers and individuals offering employment/ entrepreneurial opportunities requiring prospective employees to purchase products, training or services upfront.
  • Individuals not associated with a verifiable organization, company, or agency requesting work to take place at a private residence (i.e.: caregiver, babysitter, tutor, landscaping, care attendant).
  • “Pyramid” or “Multi-Level” Employers – Employers/individuals offering employment/ entrepreneurial opportunities based on a “pyramid” or “multi-level” type networking structure requiring or encouraging the recruitment of others who recruit others and so on to sell products and services.
  • Marijuana and Cannabis Industries – Employers involved with the use, production, promotion, testing, or distribution of recreational or medical marijuana. As the use of marijuana is illegal at the federal level, and Clark State College receives federal funds, we must comply with federal law. In addition, the use of marijuana violates the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act and continues to be banned on campus.
