Get Support
Any concentration, any class year, any career interest – we are here to help you.
Meet with one of our highly trained Graduate Career Fellows during open hours to help you get oriented to all the resources of the Brown Center for Career Exploration.
If you’re not sure where to start, you might find meeting with another student as a great way to begin.
Brown provides significant funding for low-paid or unpaid internships and research opportunities. In addition to providing financial support, the SPRINT program helps to make opportunities visible.
Our students find mentors, friends and collaborators within and among Brown’s wide alumni network to explore careers and life after Brown.
Find Opportunities Through...
More than 80% of job opportunities are never posted, so connections matter. The Brown community of alumni, employers, and friends are ready to help you.
Opportunities on campus provide you with new skills, money, and flexible hours. Be sure to connect with Workday to find open positions.
Employers actively recruit Brown students for an array of full-time opportunities. Start with the Handshake jobs platform to learn about employer programs, job and internship postings, and events from the Brown Center for Career Exploration.
Brown alumni and parents post internships and research opportunities for Brown undergraduate students, enabling them to build connections within the Brown community, gain valuable skills and experience, and benefit from advantages in the recruiting/hiring process. All Bruno Opportunities shared by organizations in Handshake and BrownConnect+ can be found in one place: the Bruno Opportunities collection in Handshake.
Working with professors on campus or off campus through Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards provides you with key research and analytical skills.
Donating your time and talent is not only a great way to give back, but also an opportunity to build key skills and make connections. Not to mention that employers value seeing a commitment to volunteerism on a resume.
Employers plan events specifically for our Brown students. Engage with our employer partners via events to learn about the recruiting process.
