Internship and Job Preparation

CSin3 students graduate as well-rounded individuals; they are not only academically strong but have the professional skills to ensure success after graduation. Weekly professional development workshops are a key component of CSin3.

 

Summer Bridge Experience

1st-year students

CSin3 kicks off with a 3-4 week summer bridge experience aimed at building a strong cohort community, introducing you to Computer Science, and laying the foundation for habits and strategies that will ensure your success in the first year of college. During summer bridge, you will have the opportunity to interact with engineers and our alums at some of our industry partners, which may include Amazon, Apple, DoorDash, Google, Lyft, Quizlet, Slack, Salesforce, Uber, VMWare, etc., as well as with past graduates from our cohort programs.

Freshmen Cohort Enrichment (FCE)

1st-year students

In the 21st century, college students need more than an education plan to succeed in their field of study. FCE provides cohort students a space to increase their chances of success by focusing on proven college success, industry preparation, and personal development tactics over a three-hour weekly workshop. FCE provides students an environment where they build community, grow as computer science students, and learn to become the best versions of themselves.

Accelerate

2nd and 3rd-year students

In their second year, students apply for summer internships (there are no classes scheduled for the second summer). Accelerate provides students with the resources outside of the classroom that they need to land an internship position. They fine-tune their resumes, practice interview skills, and hear from industry guests. Our staff checks in with each student regularly to see their progress and to make sure that they have all the resources they need.

Third years often return with a job offer from the company they interned at. They will update their resume and continue to practice interviewing or work on their graduate school applications. In addition, we ask our that our third year students mentor and assist the second year students.

Industry Connections

Our industry partners are a key component to the professional success of our students. We have many industry partners that support our program and hire our students. Companies come regularly to network, give resume feedback, and conduct mock interviews. In addition, we will often host real interviews for internship/job positions on campus.
