Vanderbilt Career Center

Opportunities are simply experiences that allow you to explore, learn and grow. They may include full time positions, internships, and volunteer work and can be paid or unpaid. They may present themselves at times when you least expect them so always be open to new possibilities.

These experiences can help build your resume and also help you determine options after graduation.

Most students will find internships and full time opportunities through networking with people they know like family, friends, co-workers and others.

Here are a few of the many ways to discover opportunities:

• VCC Networking Events: Industry Career Days, Total Access, Vanderbilt Conversations, and employer information sessions occur throughout the year and are great ways to connect with alumni and employers. These events are typically advertised on the Google calendar on the VCC main page.
