Career Consulting Interns-Fall 2021

Career Consulting Interns (CCIs) are dynamic CWRU student paraprofessionals who guide students on career development topics. Applications for Fall 2021 positions are currently being accepted and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. If interested, please apply now, as the posting will be taken down early if all positions are filled.

 

Each Career Consulting Intern is paired with a Career Interest Area coordinator to support communications of industry-specific employer activities, recruitment and jobs/internships. We are looking for student applicants interested in supporting the following three career interest areas:

 

Arts & Culture | Healthcare | Life & Physical Sciences

 

Career Consulting Intern positions are extremely flexible, as CCIs work (on average) 5-8 hours/week.

CCIs also serve as ambassadors for Post-Graduate Planning and Experiential Education.
