InternPrepare: How to Make the Most of Your Summer Experience

Catalog description

This class allows students to earn 1-unit while preparing to make the most of their upcoming summer internship or work experience. Participating students learn about and utilize design thinking and career education tools that will enable them to hit the ground running on their first day with established goals for the summer, an understanding of how to impress their supervisors and colleagues, awareness of what will help them to thrive personally and professionally, and a plan to convert their summer experience into future opportunities. InternPrepare is taught by Stanford Career Education in collaboration with the Life Design Lab and is held during the spring quarter. Students are required to identify and secure their own internship, research, or summer work experience. The class will meet weekly throughout the quarter, alternating between interactive lectures and sessions with alumni who provide insights about their Stanford experience and careers. Class will meet in person on Wednesdays from 3:30pm to 5:20pm.
