Today, most careers begin with an intern position within an organization. In fact, many organizations get the majority of their entry-level hires directly from the interns who worked in their workplace. Addition- ally, organizations
are increasingly identifying students for internship positions as early as the freshman year. CCG Internship Placement Service is designed to help you balance the rigors of your academic training with the reality of the
early start required to land the ideal position when you graduate.
The CCG Job Readiness Certification is a soft skills training and certification program we offer to our internship and entry level candidates.
The CCG Job Readiness Certification is designed to ensure that interns provided
by CCG bring exceptional teamwork, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, negotiation, office etiquette, and relationship management skills to your organization. Our certification allows emerging professionals to
demonstrate their career readiness and allows employers to minimize on-the-job training.
Certification involves 20 hours of learning and offers 2 CEU credits. Certification courses may be taken at our two annual
conferences.
