Career Connections

Connect. Share. Inspire.

Help the next generation of massage therapists find their path. FSM Career Connections brings practicing professionals, employers, students, and alumni together through candid career conversations, meaningful connections, and opportunities to teach.

Choose the opportunity that fits you below. All applications are reviewed by FSM staff; submitting a form does not guarantee participation or scheduling.

Career Panel & Fair

Share your experience. Meet future therapists.

Near each cohort’s graduation, invited professionals answer student questions about careers, employment, entrepreneurship, and life after massage school.

The Career Fair begins with a required 45-minute experience for graduating students and continues through lunch for other students and alumni.

Exhibitor tables: $50. Confirmed panel speakers and eligible active Alumni Association business members may receive a complimentary table, subject to approval and capacity.

Teach a Student Elective

Bring your knowledge to our learning community.

FSM welcomes year-round proposals for optional, affordable, after-school classes that enrich students’ massage education—from hands-on skills and therapist wellbeing to business, communication, and ethics.

All proposals receive academic review. An expression of interest is not course approval, and any additional transcript hours require approval and verified participation.

How It Works

  1. Apply: Share your experience, organization, or proposed class.
  2. Review: FSM checks relevance, qualifications, and availability. Academic leadership reviews elective proposals.
  3. Connect: Approved participants receive event or course details and any applicable payment instructions.

There is no charge to apply. Exhibitors should not submit the $50 table fee unless FSM confirms acceptance. Student electives are not automatically Florida continuing education credit.
