READ ABOUT INTERNS AND MENTORS
Q: How does having a mentor or securing an internship benefit a college student?
A: Mentorships and internships bridge the gap between school learning and workplace experience, preparing individuals for their future career years prior to their college graduation date. As a college student, having a mentor or the opportunity to participate in an internship in a field of interest can be the first stepping-stone to a bright career ahead.
PROFESSIONAL PATHWAY CLASSES
We prepare students at St. Mary’s College of Maryland to successfully bridge from college to careers. Starting in their first semester, students take a total of 3 credit hours of career pathways literacy classes. The classes offer flexible and immersive assignments and are designed to meet the needs of students exploring their career options as well as those who have a chosen career path.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INCUBATORS & START-UPS
Entrepreneurs are driven by curiosity and a desire to solve problems and find new opportunities. Strategic thinking, innovation, communication, networking, and finance are some of the skills student can develop through our:
- Seedspot Collaboration
- Entrepreneurship Class
- Incubator and Start-up Opportunities
Whether their career path leads to a career in a traditional work setting or to a start or early-venture company, 21st Century graduates value social impact and understanding innovation and entrepreneurship is critical professionally and personally.
