- Full-time
- Full-time positions are positions with 30+ hours per week. For graduating seniors, the recruiting timeline for full-time positions will typically begin at the start of the Fall semester.
- Internships
- An internship is a temporary, full-time position intended to give undergraduate students experience in a particular field.
- Externships
- Externships are short, 1-2 day experiences designed to give undergraduate students a chance to learn more about a specific company and their opportunities, as well as a chance to network. Externships are typically intended for freshman or sophomore students who have not yet taken courses focusing on technical skills needed for the industry.
- Micro-internship
- Micro-internships are short-term, paid projects that can be completed at any time during the year. Micro-internships are a great way to add relevant experience to your resume. Due to the short-term nature of these projects, they are continuously being added to the micro-internships site, found here.
Certifications are a great way to boost your resume and showcase your skills. For additional training and courses, visit Virginia Tech’s LinkedIn Learning site.
