CNS Career & Professional Development Center

** If you are doing any experiential learning off campus (internship, co-op, research, EMT, CNA, projects), please complete this short Field Experience Acknowledgement Risk Form and return it to Janet Bordwin at jbordwin@umass.edu.  If you are registering your experience in Handshake for credits, you do not need to complete another Risk Form. This will be part of your Handshake submission.

Come to us to learn about field experience opportunities (internships, co-ops, research & more) and strategies to increase your visible value to employers well before you graduate. In addition to your academics, Experiential Learning is what will help you get into graduate school or land a job after college. Start building your experiential learning now.

Check out these opportunities for experiential learning:

• Forage: free experiential learning via small, 5-6 hour corporate projects
• Parker Dewey Micro-Internships are short-term, remote professional paid work experiences
• FREE LinkedIn Learning courses to increase your skills 

The CNS Career Center in Morrill II, Suite 321, offers both remote and in-person career advising appointments. Come meet with us sooner rather than later, so we can help you figure out next steps and work with you to bring out your skills and experiences to demonstrate to employers.
