Programs
One of the Center for Professional Pathways’ goals is to provide opportunities for students to gain professional and community experience to prepare them for life after WOU.
In addition to career counseling, resume and cover-letter reviews, help with graduate school applications, practice interviews, and many other services, we support a number of programs that give students experience that they wouldn’t necessarily receive in the traditional classroom.
Look below to learn more about how the Center for Professional Pathways can help you strengthen your college journey through experiential learning!
Study Abroad
Study Abroad is one of the most sought after and transformational forms of experiential learning for undergraduate students.
What most students don’t realize is that Study Abroad takes on many different forms, from internships to faculty led programs. No matter what your interests, we have something for you! Explore and discover more about our programs.
Contact our staff and email us with the subject title: “Study Abroad” for more information on how to get started.
WOU Community Internship Program
WOUCIP provides meaningful, paid internship opportunities for WOU students. These opportunities are located on campus and throughout the local community.
Students apply for the program in the Fall term of each academic year and work ten hours a week through the Winter and Spring terms.
Some recent internships include Linguistics Research Assistant, Marketing and Graphics Intern, and Alumni Relations Assistant. Visit our WOUCIP page for more information.
Contact Program Staff at woucip@wou.edu if you have any questions.
Students are invited to submit their applications at the beginning of Fall term and typically recruitment is only open for a few weeks to a month. Contact Justin Sunada (sunadaj@wou.edu) for information on other internship opportunities.
Community Volunteering
Each year, students are invited to participate in community service projects ranging from a couple of hours to a full day. Projects range from working with residents in retirement communities, cleaning community gardens, supporting local food pantries, and more.
See our list of community partners if you would like to volunteer on your own or organize a project for a group.
