Jobs and Internships

Handshake Career Portal connects employers with W&L student and alumni candidates. Employers can post internships, full-time jobs, fellowships and other opportunities for candidates to access and apply. Log in with your W&L credentials.

Utilize industry-specific resources to explore careers and learn about related skills. Located in the CPD Canvas Course, each industry page includes job posting databases specific to each field as a starting point to search for jobs or internships.

Networking is the process of building relationships with individuals who have experience in a career or industry and can offer insights and advice to help you along your career journey.

A strong online presence makes it easy for employers to have additional avenues to search and assess you as a potential candidate. It’s important to understand how to use LinkedIn and other platforms to your benefit.

The Office of Fellowships supports students in their search for nationally competitive external funding opportunities to support study abroad, pursue independent research, teach abroad, apply to graduate school, and much more.

The Office of Career and Professional Development (CPD) offers one Experiential Learning (EXP) credit for qualifying summer and academic term internships.

W&L has funds available to support students (rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors) pursuing their internship or career-related goals during the summer months. Funds are limited and not guaranteed.
