What is Learning Work?
A guided internship program where students gain hands-on experience in their chosen field during the month of January. Students work 30-40 hours per week in independently secured internships under the remote supervision of a Wofford instructor. This program is a great way to build your professional network and enhance your resume.
Key Guidelines:
- Supervisor cannot be a direct family member.
- Students must arrange their own internships (Wofford offers assistance through the Career Center if needed).
- Apply through the Learning Work portal ASAP.
Application Deadlines:
- Early Decision Deadline: October 4
- Final Deadline: December 1
- Students can still work with Career Services up until the final deadline to find internships.
- If searching past the Early Deadline, students must register for an on-campus interim as a backup.
