CAS undergraduate? Gain internship experience on campus at the CCD.

BU Center for Career Development Internship

The Boston University Center for Career Development (CCD) seeks to educate and empower students and alumni to make informed decisions regarding their academic and career development. Our office partners with employers from a wide range of sectors and industries who recruit from the BU community for internships and full-time positions. In order to effectively engage students by offering the most relevant and informed career services, the CCD regularly evaluates opportunities to embrace cutting-edge programs, platforms and technology to complement existing career development resources such as workshops, resume and cover letter reviews, career fairs and individual career counseling sessions.

With a recent increase in available career products for purchase or partnership, the CCD must determine which of these technological offerings best serves the interests of students, yields effective outcomes and is manageable given available resources. A self-motivated student who wants to hone their project management skills and critical thinking in a higher education setting would be the ideal candidate for the CCD Internship. With guidance and supervisory support, the intern will assess the CCD’s current career resources and needs, research new career tools, and make recommendations to CCD staff based on findings. The intern will help identify new applications, programs and partnerships that might be user friendly, relevant, and beneficial to students and alumni throughout their career development.

Fall 2015 application deadlines are July 15 (early deadline) and August 28 (final deadline, if spots are still available).

Accompanying the internship will be a 1-credit or 2-credit course which frames, facilitates, and guides students through an internship opportunity in a workplace setting within Boston University. The course focuses on the essential skills and competencies for getting started and being successful in the workplace, as well as readings and written reflections on the link between academic and career goals. The course, taken P/F and not counting toward the degree, will appear on the transcript as CAS IN 250: LIB ARTS INTERN. Click here to view the course syllabus.

Prerequisites: sophomore, junior, or senior standing and successful application for an approved internship. Please contact the instructor, Linda Wells, if you have preliminary questions.
