Need professional experience?
Having “on-the-job” experience upon graduation is more important than ever, and Boise State’s Work U program is here to help you get it. There are 50+ opportunities available for spring 2023 and applications are open now.
What is Work U?
Work U is a career development experience with a twist. In addition to gaining hands-on professional work experience, you’ll be provided with a mentor, opportunities to clarify your career goals, and help leveraging this experience to launch your career. You’ll build your resume and your network – while gaining three upper-division credits. Here’s what you should know:
-
Every opportunity is open to all majors, skill sets, and levels of experience
-
Instead of applying to each organization, we will place you into an opportunity of your preference that fits your career goals
-
You’ll spend 10 hours a week with your Work U employer, and have a 75-minute weekly class with a career advisor
-
In-person, remote, and hybrid opportunities are available
A few examples of Work U opportunities for Spring 2023:
-
Trailhead – Marketing and Graphic Design
-
Idaho Housing And Finance Association – Homelessness Programs
-
Boise Metro Chamber – Marketing and Communications
-
Blue Cross of Idaho – Care Coordinator
-
Idaho Power – Human Resources
Or, you can “Create Your Own” opportunity.
If you’re already working or volunteering with an organization and can identify a professional mentor and additional responsibilities connected to your future career, consider applying to the Create Your Own option to get the benefits of Work U.
Learn more and apply to Work U. The first round of applications closes October 26, so get your application in right away for the best chance to be placed into your top choice!
