Job & Internship Listings > Employers

Category Reference Guide

The categories on the UST Career Development Center job and internship site are not identified by major but by occupation. If you would like help identifying potential occupations for a major, check out Career Opportunities For...[insert your major here].

Below are examples to aide you in the understanding of the job/internship categories. Positions listed under these categories are not limited to the examples shown, however, they should be somewhat related. These categories were adopted from the Occupational Outlook Handbook developed by the U.S. Department of Labor in an attempt to categorize job/internship opportunities by the nature of the position and not by the major or education of the applicant.
