Internships and Career Planning

Planning for your career starts your first year. By designing your four-year plan, you'll create a series of action steps that ensure you achieve important milestones—and utilize helpful tools and resources—in your career development process.

At Bryant, you have two years to declare a major—and it's not unusual for students to enter Bryant as an undecided student. We offer many opportunities during that time to explore your academic and career options through our MyPath Program. From personalized career coaching and assessments to majors showcases and mentorship programs, you'll have access to a comprehensive menu of programs and services to help you make an informed decision.

Over 400 employers participate in our Recruiting Program, including more than 150 employers who conduct on-campus interviews. The program hosts two large career fairs each year, featuring 80 to 100 employers and a range of industries. Networking events with employers are also organized to encourage students to meet with employers and explore opportunities. In addition, you’ll find events throughout the year that are ideal for finding internship, volunteer, and learning opportunities in profit and nonprofit organizations, as well as employment.

You may also participate in company treks (the EXPLORE Program) to areas that offer many site visit opportunities—and alumni introductions—such as trips to Washington, D.C., and New York City. And you'll find more opportunities throughout your time at Bryant to connect with our active alumni network of 50,000 members.

These opportunities amplify the connections you'll make through your coursework and extracurriculars. As a result of Bryant's innovative approach to teaching and immersive student life, your exposure to employers and organizations will be unparalleled.

You're already skilled at making connections—with your friends, family, classmates and others. We help you cultivate this ability for the job search process, from the start to the end. Through our programs you can participate in resume reviews and mock interviews, including with employers. And you can learn how to network, get help with your LinkedIn profile, practice salary negotiation, and more.

The next step after graduation is important to consider, and we'll help you align yours toward your career goal, whether that's a full-time position, heading to graduate school, a postgraduate service or teaching opportunity, or a gap year where you can sift through all the possibilities.
