The Center for Careers and Internships offers advising on career, and internship opportunities for students.

We also provide resources to support faculty in the following ways:

  • Identifying alumni of interest to your majors and minors.
  • Connecting you and your students to relevant opportunities.
  • Showcasing alumni career paths through our Major Guides.

Faculty Guide

We encourage collaboration and invite you to explore resources and services to enhance your student advising. The Faculty Guide contains up-to-date, practical information.

Together, we can help students discover experiences and opportunities that align with their academic, personal, and professional goals, preparing them for life after Middlebury.
