As the academic year wraps up and you head into summer, whether you’re starting an internship, a job, a research project, traveling, or taking time to recharge, CCI is still here for you. Even off campus, you have 24/7 access to tools, and opportunities to help you grow, explore, and stay career-ready wherever you are.
Think of this as your go-to summer toolkit.
Find internships, jobs, and alumni opportunities
Summer can be a great time to explore what’s next, or keep momentum going in your search. You can still discover openings, connect with employers, and explore roles shared by alumni and organizations looking for Middlebury students.
Start by browsing jobs and internships in Handshake to see what’s new and what might fit your interests.
Practice interviews anytime, anywhere
Have an interview coming up? Or just want to feel more confident talking about your experience?
You can practice on your own schedule with AI-powered mock interviews and short, on-demand video lessons through Big Interview. It’s an easy way to build confidence and sharpen your storytelling skills. No appointment required. Just log into Big Interview with your Middlebury ID.
Explore global opportunities
If you’re thinking about working abroad now or in the future, summer is a great time to start exploring.
Access country guides, visa insights, and international job and internship listings through Interstrideand GoinGlobal. Whether you’re dreaming big or just starting to research, these tools can help you understand what’s possible.
Strengthen your application materials
Summer is also a perfect moment to refresh your résumé or draft a new cover letter, especially while your recent experiences are still fresh.
You can access guidance and resources anytime to improve your materials and feel ready when opportunities pop up. Visit the CCI Toolkit for guides and résumé templates.
Connect with the Middlebury community
Career exploration doesn’t happen alone. Midd2Midd makes it easy to connect with peers and alumni for advice, networking, and real-world insights.
Reach out, ask questions, and learn from others’ experiences. You never know where a conversation might lead.
The Middlebury Career Closet (Virtual Styling Available)
Preparing for an interview, internship, or presentation? The Middlebury Career Closet offers virtual styling to help you find professional clothing that fits both your needs and your personal style.
Financial aid–eligible students can also use vouchers to cover rental costs, making professional attire more accessible.
Share your summer story
We love hearing what students are up to—and your story might inspire someone else.
If you’re interning, working, researching, traveling, or trying something new, tell us about your experience. You’ll answer a few quick questions about what you’re doing, what’s surprised you, and what you’ve learned so far. Your story may even be featured on CCI social media. Keep an eye on your inbox… we’ll be sending a short form your way soon so you can share your story with us.
One last note
Remember, you can always schedule a virtual advising appointment this summer if you’d like support along the way. You don’t have to wait until fall to think about your next step, but you also don’t have to do everything at once.
Have a wonderful summer. 💙
