Internships for Faculty of Arts students

Student Series:

A discussion about internships from the student’s perspective!

We tend to link internships and work opportunities to Engineering and Management students, but let’s not forget about the amazing opportunities that exist for our Faculty of Arts students! Through the Arts Internship Office (AIO), Arts students can explore paid jobs in and out of their domains and start building their career while at McGill.

In today’s episode, we chat with Colette, a recent BA graduate who majored in Sociology and minored in Political Science and Hispanic Studies. Colette shared her thought process regarding internships (3:35), finding one through the AIO (4:30) and working with them. She received advice on how to put together her CV and application letters (8:15) and discussed the position she held for the Institute of Human Development and Well-Being/Participatory Cultures Lab (11:05).

Taking a step back from the position, we discussed the transferable skills one builds in a BA program (15:42) and shared some advice about looking for internships (23:10).

Now that Colette has graduated, we found out what she has been up to (24:33) and how she looks back at the experience she got at McGill (26:35) and through the AIO (28:30).
