Career readiness

Networking is more essential than ever in your internship and job search. We encourage you to take advantage of all the networking resources available to you.

An internship allows you to integrate and apply your academic coursework to a professional work situation, gain valuable skills and experiences, and increase your marketability to future employers.

Internships & experiential learning

Are you searching for your “calling”? Your sense of purpose in your life and work? “God’s will” for your life? You are not alone!

Vocational discernment & life design
