Careers & Resources

Factors for Employment

Factors for internships and employment are agency-dependent considerations. Students have some control over and should be aware of these factors to be employable in the CJ/FS fields. Some factors to consider may include: 

  • Vision requirements
  • Physical fitness requirements
  • Tattoo visibility
  • Social media posts
  • Completion of drug testing, polygraph examinations, psychological screening, physical and medical examinations
  • Background checks
    • drug usage
    • criminal history
    • driving records
    • credit history
    • personal associations
    • and/or past work performance

Prior misdemeanor and/or felony conviction may impede a student's ability to participate in an internship experience as well as gain employment.
