InternConnect

Catalog description

This highly engaging and interactive class helps students to translate their previous work or internship experiences into future opportunities. The class integrates Design Thinking and career education knowledge and tools to help students reflect upon, identify, and articulate how their past experience informs their career related goals and next steps. Participating students will walk away with updated job search tools, industry connections, a clear action plan, and increased confidence in their ability to identify and interview for future opportunities that align with their interests and goals. The class is offered as a 1-unit course and is held during Autumn quarter. We will meet once a week, alternating between required class sessions (weeks 1,3,5,7 and 9) and optional sessions (weeks 2,4,6, and 8). The optional sessions will include guest speakers, networking opportunities, and time to collaborate and get assistance on assignments. Students are recommended to have participated in an internship or equivalent experience within the past year.
