I get how waiting to join seems right. In fact, many of my most successful students have asked this exact question.

But the secret firepower about the internship and co-op hunt is that the earlier you start learning what to do, the exponentially better you perform. 

With access to the community, you will see how students are landing positions and learn from their experiences so that when you start applying, you have a backlog of second hand knowledge in your arsenal.

Don't wait, join NOW!

Yes. In fact, as an international student, you are up against an even tougher hiring climate than the U.S. citizens, and should pursue every advantage you can find to establish your work experience in the country to anchor your hireability. In the course, I help you explore the ways that your international status is an asset rather than a liability, so you can help future employers overcome their hesitation to hire a student who will one day need visa sponsorship.

There are definite advantages to being a mature student, or a student who works to put themselves through school. I highlight those advantages in the course, and teach you how to use them in the internship hunt – because yes, you still need engineering experience. You’ll be far more likely to land well-paying, rewarding jobs with good benefits after graduating when you have internship semesters on your resume. Course modules cover secret options for fitting these semesters into an existing full time schedule.

YES! Take this course now, don’t wait. Bad information out there will tell you not to even start thinking about work experience until sophomore year, but I’m here to tell you my first internship was my Freshman year and it helped me land every internship and co-op that followed.

In fact, companies will hire freshman for any position you see available - they're just waiting for an impressive candidate to come along. This program will make it a breeze for you to be that candidate.

Get started today.

You do still need work experience, even if your plan is to go into academia and research for the rest of your career. Engineering is a deeply real-world discipline. Even researchers need to have witnessed and experienced the scale of engineering in industry – from design to daily operations. These experiences give you the context of limitations facing the amazing solutions you’ll come up with in the lab, and ideas for how to tackle scaling up to industrial applications. Even when applying for lab jobs, students with co-op and internship experience will always be chosen over those without it.

Absolutely. In fact, as an enrolled college student, you’re already sitting on several opportunities that would love to tap into your work ethic and commitment.

If you’re lucky enough to have a robust career services department at your institution, that’s a great first step! However, I can tell you firsthand that even the best career services are staffed with well-meaning but ultimately limited counselors. It’s one thing to know the theoretical steps to land an internship, and it’s another to have been through hundreds of networking interactions, dozens of interviews, and experienced firsthand which performances landed the job offer and which didn’t. I offer you that experienced insider view. Having been there, done that as an engineering student, having helped many peers and mentees go through the same process as a career coach, and having been on the other side as a professional engineer, representing my employer at networking events and interviewing future co-ops, I bring all of my first hand experience to the process you’re going through. That’s a serious advantage over the students feeling their way through the process. Join our community, and let’s start landing some internships together today!
