Cornell Career Services
The offerings in this program allow students a rare opportunity early on in their career exploration to observe and hear about career options directly from the professionals doing the work that interests them. Sponsors provide critical information, advice, recommendations, and contacts for further career path research and are under no obligation to offer students future internships or employment.
Sponsors can assist student participants in learning:
1. How to research career fields, organizations, or industries of interest.
2. How to interact with professionals in the world of work and seek out information about work culture and behavior.
3. How to anticipate career path issues, struggles, manage their own career choices, and their personal experiences.
The connection will provide students with hands-on exposure to assess their “fit” with that industry. The visit could last longer than one or two days, for a project, if the sponsor chooses this option.
Connections can be shadowing visits lasting one to two days, or longer for a project; or can be a one-on-one or group information interview or lunch meeting depending on the sponsor's organization policies and time availability. Students prefer shadowing opportunities, but any interaction with professionals in their field of interest is extremely valuable.
