This morning I attend a Shawnee Mission School District, Business & Teacher Collaboration focused on how more students can engage in work-based learning, including job shadows, client projects, and internships? Look what I found…👏🏻👏🏻 #realworldlearning #kauffmanfoundation #zeroreasonswhy

Internships are instrumental to student success. Research shows that: 💯Interns stay employed and are more likely to be retained with a company for up to 5 years. 💯 More than two in three interns (66.4%) secure a full-time job after their internship. 💯 Interns will have a $15,000 higher salary than those who did not do an internship. And…so many more benefits come with interning! Thank YOU to our partners at Florida Atlantic University! #internships #careerreadiness #studentsuccess

Questions Corner Question: How can I fund my summer opportunities, including research and internships? There are several resources to help fund summer opportunities. Read below to see a few highlighted options or contact someone at the Career Center to get started! Apply for the Summer Internship Funding Awards to make unpaid (or underpaid) opportunities more financially possible. Experiences lasting a minimum of 8 weeks & 240 hours are eligible for $2500, and a minimum of 10 weeks & 400 hours are eligible for $4000. Apply as soon as possible, as funding is first come first serve. The Faulty Student Collaborative Grant funds summer collaborative research between Colorado College faculty and students.

Student researchers conducting less than 8 weeks of research will receive a fellowship stipend of $600/week. Please contact Lisa Schwartz for more information. Check out other scholarships and grants that can help you fund research or coursework at the undergraduate level and can vary by department.

Is your child struggling to build their college list? We talk a lot about fit, but how do you find it? Here’s how to help them! Begin by discussing what they’re seeking in their college experience. Do they value small class sizes, ample internship opportunities, or a vibrant community spirit? Kickstart this exploration with your child by listening to their thoughts and feelings about different campus environments and watching virtual information sessions together. Reflect on what resonates, envision where your child might thrive, and from there, explore similar schools. And remember, assessing admissibility by looking at previous years' admitted student data and admit rates is a great place to start. #CollegeAdmissions #HowToChoose #Colledge
