Internship Accelerator
Goucher’s Internship Accelerator is a four-year sequence of real-world workplace experiences
that will help you clarify where you’re headed after graduation and cultivate the
knowledge, skills, and networks you’ll need to get there. Drawing on Goucher’s extensive
partner relationships in the Greater Baltimore region and beyond, our experiential
approach to career education will help to ensure that, regardless of your major, your
time at Goucher serves as the launch pad for a rewarding and fulfilling professional
life.
Employer Field Trips
See inside the offices of local employers in a range of fields and learn about a day in the working life of employees in a variety of positions. Our employer site visits will help you to clarify what you’re looking for in a position, a working environment, and a field. The CEO team is currently working to make employer visits directly available through courses throughout the Goucher curriculum. Please watch this space for updates or contact us (career@goucher.edu) with any questions
Micro-internships
Gain first-hand insights into a specific field by completing a project-based internship with guidance and mentoring from a Goucher alumna/us. Our micro-internships are offered virtually during winter term, and they are designed exclusively for Goucher students by college alumnae and alumni. The majority of students completing micro-internships receive a stipend.
Internships
Leverage the knowledge and experience you’ve gained through your Goucher coursework and through previous phases of the Accelerator to secure an internship in a field of interest to you. Internships are eligible for academic credit and for funding through the Goucher Internship Fellowship, and the Career Education Office provides extensive resources as well as one-on-one support to help you find the right internship opportunity for you.
Job/Graduate School Coaching
Clarify the skills that you’ve acquired during your time at Goucher and amplify them on your resume. Develop your job search or graduate school application strategy. Prepare for interviews. Staff from the Career Education Office will guide you through these steps through visits to your major program’s capstone course or seminar and through one-on-one and group advising sessions. Many students will also complete a second internship during their fourth year.
To benefit the most from the Internship Accelerator, we strongly encourage students
to participate in programs in the sequence above. But it's never too late to accelerate
your career development process! The CEO team will work individually with students
needing to complete programs in a different sequence.
