Project-Based Coursework

How Can EE&CS Help My Students?

 


Career Advising

The most successful JWU students meet with us in one-on-one advising sessions at least twice a year. Encourage your students to visit EE&CS


Networking Opportunities

Help your students find internships and jobs at our career fairs, panel discussions and presentations. Remind them to check our upcoming career events.

 


Internship Preparation

Students need time to polish resumes, search and apply for an internship, and partner with a faculty advisor. Remind your students to apply for an internship two terms in advance.


Job Opportunities 

Point your students to our job listings, that have thousands of internships, part-time work, and full-time jobs just for JWU students, as they start their job search.

 


Career Management Course

Encourage students to take their Career Management course as juniors. They’ll be more prepared for the internship process and their job search, so they should register for Capstone early.


Resumes

Use these resume examples  with confidence knowing that they have been vetted by faculty and endorsed by industry professionals. Refer your students to a career advisor for a one-on-one resume critique.

 


Resume Workshops

Refer students to a resume workshop so they’re ready to interview with employers.


Site Visits for your Class

Contact us to arrange site visits to relevant employers.

 

Internship Support Fund

Your student's career success starts with a good internship. He or she should choose the best internship opportunity, regardless of whether it's paid or unpaid. We can help — encourage your student to ask about our fund to help with the costs of an unpaid internship.
