What is this?

In this program, students gain valuable work experience by working on-campus in select divisions or departments at Columbia College.

The program provides paid externships, during which students offer administrative services and project-based or entry-level support to specific college areas while continuing their studies.

The impact of this program is two-fold:

  • College students gain valuable work experience and an opportunity to develop employability skills.
  • Newcomers get to explore different roles and tasks, helping build their professional portfolios.
