Charles Hamilton Houston Internship Program -- 2021 - 2022
What the Houston Program Can Do for You
Internships can be powerful tools for students who are at the beginning of their career journeys -- but, it’s not always clear how to best use internships in order to gain insight into what career paths are out there and which one is the best fit. Even more so, it’s hard to know where to even start the search process.
The Charles Hamilton Houston Internship Program (“Houston Program”) is designed to help Amherst students discover, test, and define the lives and careers they wish to pursue after graduation through robust exploration and career development programming and substantive, meaningful summer internship opportunities.
Students who enroll in the program have access to:
- Workshops and programming designed to walk students through creating a blueprint for career exploration, landing their ideal internships, best utilizing their summer to further their career goals.
- Curated list of a broad range of summer internship opportunities hosted by Amherst alumni, parents, and friends of the College that are designed to challenge students to expand their skill sets, discover new talents and interests, and cultivate professional relationships.
- Access to Loeb Center internship funding for unpaid or low-paying summer internships.
- Dedicated staff members available to offer one-on-one advising and support throughout the school year and summer.
