Career Navigator Series: Session 4 - Applying for and Securing Internships
This interactive workshop guides students through the internship application journey—from readiness to offers. Participants will learn how to critically assess internship opportunities by identifying their own goals (e.g., paid vs. unpaid, part-time vs. full-time, in-person vs. remote) and matching them to industry expectations and timelines. The session breaks down the application process, highlighting the importance of tailoring resumes and cover letters, meeting eligibility criteria, organizing application documents, and tracking deadlines. We also examine how to respond to offers and rejections, and how to use rejections as growth opportunities. Career Center tools and strategies are woven throughout to ensure students can navigate applications with clarity and confidence.
