| Internship |
We strongly recommend that all students
participate in an internship. Successful internships give you the
valuable experience that employers want in first-time job seekers.
Students who maintain at least a 3.0 GPA may receive academic credit
for their internship. |
| Portfolio |
A portfolio of your work, along with a
resume, is a powerful job-applicant tool that you will use throughout
your career. Our classes provide you with opportunities to develop
portfolio pieces. |
| Service Learning. |
Service learning refers to learning activities
in which you apply your skills in service to the community. Bentley
is the leader in service learning, and some of our courses provide
you with opportunities to work in the community. |
| Professional meetings |
The best time to begin networking for a
job is when you're not seeking one. We therefore encourage you to
become active in professional organizations, such as the Society for Technical Communication,
Society
for Documentation Professionals, ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human
Interaction, and International
Society for Performance Improvement, so you can
build your network of contacts before starting a job search. |
