CAPX: FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CAPX?

We are here for you virtually! Career and Professional Experience, or CAPX (pronounced "kap-eks"), is the one-stop shop for SAIC students and alumni to develop their professional materials, receive valuable career advice, and plan for their creative futures. Schedule a virtual appointment with one of our Career Advisors through Handshake.

CAPX is also the best way for employers to engage with the SAIC community, either by posting jobs, internships, or other opportunities via Handshake, or by getting involved in our programming and events including the SAIC Internship and Career Expo or Expert Exchange.
