 INTERN FOR A DAY LITE - Fall 2020

INTERN FOR A DAY LITE - Fall 2020

Intern for a Day has historically connected undergraduate UMD students with alumni, parents, and employers for in-person job shadowing experiences to explore potential career fields.

For the fall 2020 semester, we are offering Intern for a Day Lite which will match undergraduate UMD students with professionals working in a field of interest to conduct virtual informational interviews.  Our 200+ "hosts" live and work all over the globe.  This reimagined program takes the "cold calling" out of informational interviews and networking for students! Below is a sample list of hosts relevant for CCJS majors.
