Students
Whether a prospective, undergraduate or graduate student here at University of Idaho — we are eager to help connect you with and prepare you for different experiential opportunities. It is through these opportunities that help you narrow down what you want to do, grow as a professional, gain invaluable skills from on-the-job experience and strengthen you as a candidate for future full-time positions after graduation.
Below are some tools to help get you started. You can connect with alumni who graduated with the same degree you're pursuing or someone who is working in a job/field that you're interested in. This is great for networking and potentially gaining some experience.
NACE Career Competencies are parameters for how we measure how ready individuals are to get out there and start working. Explore these to learn more about areas you excel in and areas you may want to give more attention.
