Professional Experience
Every student at The CALL participates in a professional experience that can be represented on a resume. For the majority, that is a traditional internship, but there are also project-based opportunities through our Professional Experiential Seminars.
The CALL is not a placement program, so each student works closely with the Manager for Professional Development & Programs to receive guidance throughout their internship search process. Throughout the process, students identify individual strengths and talents, define aspirations, and understand available pathways towards desired career options. Our personalized support system ensures that students embark on a transformative journey, equipped with the ability to replicate successful internship and job searches in the future.
We think beyond internships and consider other professional experiences like research and laboratory assistantships, creating your own non/for-profit ventures, and other possibilities.
Work with diverse employers
CALL students intern across the city in industries and organizations that fit with their professional goals, interests, and Georgetown journey. Students intern at policy think tanks, start-ups, the arts, and in large institutional settings.
Whether through the self-designed option or the CALL’s curated semester program, students can fully immerse themselves within a particular field by connecting their work site to specific coursework.
The CALL gives me the time and space to experience DC and reflect upon those experiences alongside peers and mentors.
