ROCS Biz Finder Internship in Fairfax, Va

Who + What is ROCS?

ROCS started with 2 college students wanting to help other students and recent grads find jobs. They developed a company that would help college students and recent grads find meaningful employment. Their goal was to assist students with finding jobs that were not folding clothes, sitting atop lifeguard chairs or waiting tables. Their vision was to expand networking capabilities and help students find degree-related experience while in school and after graduation. In just under 5 years, we've helped over 500 students find jobs in over 150 companies throughout the Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland areas. We are growing fast and need some great students to help.
