InternPrepare: How to Make the Most of Your Summer Experience

This 4-session class prepares students to make the most of their summer internship or work experience. Students will use design thinking and career education tools to prepare for success in their summer opportunity. Participating students will be able to hit the ground running on their first day with established goals for the summer, an understanding of how to impress their supervisors and colleagues, awareness of what will help them to thrive personally and professionally, and a plan to convert their summer experience into future opportunities. Taught by Stanford Career Education in collaboration with the Life Design Lab, the class is offered as a 1-unit course, open to audit if space allows, and is held during the spring quarter. Students are required to identify and secure their own internship experience. The class will have 4 course meetings throughout the quarter.
