Externship Program

An externship or job-shadowing experience generally lasts one to five days in duration.  It will provide students the opportunity to gain an understanding of a career or industry in a focused and informative setting and observe professionals in their work environments.  It also encourages students, alumni and organizations to forge strong and valuable connections in a shared experience.  The Externship Program is not for academic credit and students are not compensated, but the experience will be greatly beneficial to both the students and sponsors.

If you have questions about the program, please contact the Boston College Career Center at (617) 552-3430 or via email at externship@bc.edu.

Please note:  Externship dates/application will be updated in the late fall to reflect the winter externship experience.  We are looking for externship sponsors in NYC and Boston.

Employers in Residence

Employers in residence commit to coming on campus on a regular basis to provide students with such services as resume critiques, practice interviews, and career advice. Through this program, students learn about industries and careers paths within their field(s) of choice and receive individualized career development advice from recruiters and managers in the field. This is an excellent opportunity to develop ongoing relationships with students and to increase your presence or promote your organization on campus. Employers could come as often as every week or as infrequently as once a month.

If you are interested in becoming an employer in residence, please contact Lou Gaglini, Associate Director, at (617) 552-3633 or louis.gaglini@bc.edu
