New research from California Competes highlights a significant disparity in career development at California public institutions: Women, First-Gen, and BIPOC students are less likely to have paid internship experiences, which are crucial for career readiness. Read the Inside Higher Ed article here: https://lnkd.in/e-W533HX "...Researchers discovered that only 6 percent of Californians have participated in a paid internship, and only 15 percent participated in an internship at all. Women (4 percent), Black (5 percent), Latino (4 percent) and Native American (0 percent) students were less likely than their peers to complete a paid internship, as were first-generation learners (4 percent) and college students over 30 years old (2 percent)." Colleges and universities can help close this gap by developing on-campus internships tied to work-study programs, offering equitable access to meaningful work experiences. By creating accessible pathways for all students, especially those underrepresented in paid internships, institutions can foster career development that aligns with equity goals and empowers students for future success. This is the approach we are taking at UC San Diego and we are working hard over the next few years to increase the number of on-campus opportunities for underrepresented students to impact career readiness and student success. #CareerDevelopment #StudentEmployment #CareerReadiness #Equity #StudentSuccess

We just wrapped up another great internship with the addition of Luke Brassard to our team this summer. Luke, a graduate of St Sebastian school, is getting ready to start his sophomore year at Holy Cross. The way Luke came across our company is pretty interesting. He originally applied for an internship at the Needham Town Departments, but unfortunately, they didn't have any openings. However, someone from the town suggested him to me, sharing his resume and saying he might be a good fit. The rest is history, as they say. During the three months of the internship, what can we expect from interns? What can we teach them? I think there's a great opportunity to pass on some important lessons. In the end, it's up to the interns themselves to analyze, soak up, and put these teachings into practice. For me personally, I prioritize the following things: 1. Accountability - getting tasks done quickly and efficiently. 2. Resourcefulness - figuring out creative solutions. 3. Planning - like I always say, "proper planning prevents poor performance." 4. Relentlessness - the determination to finish tasks, no matter what obstacles come up. Luke has consistently shown these qualities since day one, earning the respect of our whole team in no time. On behalf of the entire Catalyst Team, we want to thank Luke for his valuable contributions, and we wish him all the best in the upcoming school year. #summerinternship #realestate #careergoals #bostonma

6 useful personal behaviors I’ve instilled during my Woodson Equity internship thus far. 1. Arrive before everyone else; using that quiet time to get settled and focused. Being ready to go as my colleagues arrive sets a productive tone for my day. 2. Breaking my day into hour-long segments. Tracking my activities this way helps me maximize tasks and maintain productivity throughout the day. 3. Use Excel to log my tasks and progress, ensuring everything is organized and easy to follow. Regularly give situational reports my current status on taskers. The work I input into software is almost anonymous, helping my team stay aligned on ongoing projects and responsibilities. 4. Further my connections both in and outside the office. For instance, during my summer I was selected for jury duty in the Northern District Court of Illinois, I met amazing individuals, some whose paths have since crossed with mine during my daily commute. Our mutual commonality in being veterans and working in finance truly demonstrates the power of maintaining connections in unexpected places. 5. Take detailed notes during meetings, tracking key conversations, and sharing those thoughts with my leadership. Asking questions will uncover valuable insights and develop a deeper internship experience. 6. When communicating electronically, always aim for clarity, conciseness, and professionalism. Avoid poor habits like using overly casual language, or unclear phrasing. Review emails and messages to ensure they reflect my best self and convey my thoughts effectively. I’m glad to be apart of this team of skilled individuals while still unraveling so much to learn. #TheWoodsonWay #PrivateEquity #InsideAnInternship

It's a question everyone asks when college starts back up: "How was your summer?" In Part I of our two-part story on our students' summer work experiences, we check in with eight students whose Bates-supported internships took them away from Maine, to businesses and organizations from Boston to Santa Barbara. In Part II next week, it’s back to Bates. #PurposefulWork #internships #mentorships #collegetocareer

📢 Calling all supporters of first-generation college students! Rivet School is seeking volunteers who share proximity to our students to be project mentors for our remote externship program this spring. ➡️ THE PROBLEM: A majority of our students don’t have the capacity to participate in traditional internships. Overall, 89% of Rivet School students have at least one job. Of those who are working, 83% are working full time. Yet, we know that internships, in combination with a BA, are proven to activate an increase in earning potential. ➡️ THE SOLUTION: Our RivetWorks externship program is a flexible and paid career-building opportunity designed to fit into our students’ busy lives. Over the past 3 years, nearly 30 students have been able to add a high-quality professional experience to their resume, all while they continued to work and earn their degree. 👉 WHERE YOU COME IN: Are you (or someone you know) interested in being a volunteer project mentor this fall? You’ll spend approximately 6 hours total over the course of 8 weeks as the client of a consulting project that will add value to your company. Most importantly, you’ll give a first-generation college student a resume-worthy experience that can set them on the path towards economic mobility. 🚀 To learn more about being a RivetWorks project mentor, fill out this interest form before April 1st: https://lnkd.in/dVKtFvq9 Feel free to share this opportunity widely!
