Companies hold presentations or receptions on or near campus to provide opportunities for students to learn
about company culture, current projects and initiatives, and job or internship opportunities. Typically you can
network with recruiters, and sometimes with MIT alumni that work for the company. These events are
reserved for MIT students and alumni only. An MIT ID will be required for entrance. See the list of company
presentations.
During the week of the Fall Career Fair, you should also check the Career Week schedule on the the Fall Career
Fair website.
(Employers: Interested in presenting on or off campus? Learn how to book a company presentation.)

Career Fairs for MIT Students and Alumni

Tips for Career Fair Success

● Clarify your career goals and identify your career fields, industries, and companies of interest well before the
career fair.
● Update your resume and have it critiqued through our drop-in advising.
● Research companies prior to speaking to employers at the fair. Know what the company does, their career
opportunities, and any recent company news. Most career fair websites provide a list of registered
employers. Prioritize your top companies.
● Dress professionally for your industry of interest.
● Appearance matters: shower, comb, and brush! Iron clothes and use a breath mint.
● Get the career fair map and plan your attack.
● Collect more than free stuff. Ask for business cards from reps. Bring resumes to give to them.
● Practice your handshake with a friend.
● After the fair, apply to positions promptly and follow up with reps to let them know you have applied. Send a
tailored email to them and reference specifics from your fair day conversation.

Develop an Elevator Pitch

● Perfect your 30-second introduction, including your name, course, graduation date, area of interest, and
relevant experiences.
● Think through the goal of your pitch and what you want to convey.
● Describe what you do, focusing on strengths, interests, and recent accomplishments.
● Credit team members and mentors.
● Engage the listener with question and give them an opporunity to respond. Avoid basic questions you could
have googled in advance, such as "What does your company do?"
 5. Research Industries and Companies
We offer tips for researching industries and companies, and advice on networking, or leveraging who you
know.

Here are some websites that can help you learn about different industries, research interesting companies,
and connect with the right people.

Industries and Occupations

● GECD's industry research resources: overviews of common industries with links to relevant MIT labs and
professional organizations
● O*NET is a database for occupational information. With over 900 occupations, it aids job seekers in
understanding the skills, abilities, and knowledge needed for their desired occupation.
● IBISWorld and BCC Research are databases that provide users with industry and market information. From
industry trends, profits, and outlook, you can get a good overview of the many industries featured. You can
access both databases via your certificate or MIT email address.
● Industries at a Glance, generated by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, are webpages that give a snapshot
overview of over 100 industry profiles and present users with statistical information compiled from various
BLS Surveys.

Companies
Here are a few great resources to check out as you compile a list of target companies. You can also see which
companies are conducting interviews on campus using CareerBridge.
● MIT Libraries offer information on a wide variety of companies and can help you create a list of target
companies through databases such as Reference USA and OneSource. You can also meet with an MIT
librarian to learn more about how the MIT library can help you research companies.
● LinkedIn Company Pages are another good resource for company information and building out your list of
target companies. If you know one or two companies you’re interested in, you can see similar companies or
competitors by searching for the company on LinkedIn and seeing what other companies show up under the
“People Also Viewed” box on the company LinkedIn page.
● The Muse and other websites like Glassdoor can give you a glimpse of what the company culture is like at
various companies through videos, photos, and employee reviews.
● Career Fairs and Company Presentations at MIT provide a great opportunity for students to learn more
about companies interested in hiring MIT students. These events are some of the best outlets to get your
questions about these companies answered.
● It never hurts to just Google the company and see what comes up. Filtering by "News" can be especially
informative. You might learn a detail you can mention in an interview -- or something that makes you think
twice about applying.

People
Other than researching industries and companies online and through MIT resources, meeting and talking with
people is also a great way to learn more about specific companies or career paths. Consider
conducting informational interviews with MIT alumni or other industry professionals in your field of interest.
Meeting with people is not only a great way to gather information, it can help you get your foot in the door,
too.
● The MIT Alumni Advisors Hub is the first place you should look for professionals to reach out to for
informational interviews. You can also search the full MIT Alumni Database, sometimes known as ICAN or
 the Infinite Connection. Narrow your search by degree, courses, industry, and more to help connect with the
right people.
● Professional Organizations such as the National Society of Professional Engineers not only often have
relevant internship and job listings, they’re also a great place to look for networking opportunities. View lists
of professional organizations through BCC Research and IBIS World. Whether you decide to comb through
membership lists or attend a professional development event, these organizations should definitely be on
your radar as you seek to meet people in your field of interest.

Find Jobs and Internships

Wondering where to look for jobs and internships? Companies hiring MIT students post positions
in CareerBridge. We can also point you to where to find job postings and where to look for internships.

6. Find Jobs and Internships

Before you start looking for internships or jobs, there's 3 career first steps you should try:
1. Clarify your interests, skills, and values through self-assessment
2. Research career options
3. Put together a career action plan
This will help you know what to look for -- but you'll still need to know where to look. Below are common ways
you can learn more about companies and find opportunities.
For more help finding opportunities, schedule an appointment with a career advisor or check our events
calendar for a helpful workshop.

Internship Search Resources

Targeted resources will be key to finding an internship that’s right for you. There are several MIT programs
and resources that can help you, and a handful of external search engines like iNet to check out, too. Review
our Internship Search Resources to find opportunities that match your interests, skills, and professional values.

Job Search Resources

Whether you know exactly what you want for your professional life or you're still exploring multiple career
paths, these Job Search Resources and recommendations are sure to help you focus on next steps. Take a look
at various events and workshops, industry and occupation guides, and job posting databases targeted to the
needs and interests of MIT students.

Connect with Recruiters, Alumni and Other Professionals

While you search for opportunities, expand your knowledge and network by attending career events on
campus and talking to professionals from different industries.

Career Fairs & Company Presentations

Attending recruiting events is a great way to discover job or internship opportunities. Company presentations,
held here on campus throughout the academic year, allow you the opportunity to learn more about a
company and network with recruiters. Career Fairs are a great way to connect with potential employers, apply
for internships and jobs, and learn about different companies and career fields.
Networking and Informational Interviews
 You can conduct informational interviews with people to learn about where they work and what they do.
Further develop job or internship leads by networking with friends, professors, and especially MIT alumni. One
great resource is the MIT Alumni Advisor Hub, an online platform to connect with alumni for career
conversations and informational interviews.

Interviews and Offers

Already applied? Get ready for your interview with help from a career counselor. If you're interviewing on-
campus, learn about our on-campus recruiting program and policies. We'll even help you negotiate job
offers to maximize your success.

7. Interviews and Offers

Applying to a job online can feel like dropping your resume into a black hole.
Your resume and cover letter can get your foot in the door, but if you know someone who works where you've
applied, networking can land you the interview. Make sure you send an email to let your contact know your
application is in.
Interviewing takes practice, and navigating multiple opportunities or offers requires strategy and honesty. It's
best to be candid with employers about your situation and your needs, and you should never accept a job
unless you intend to take it.
Here are 3 things to consider as you enter the interviewing and offers stage of the job search:
1. Know MIT’s Recruiting Policies and Expectations. Whether you are interviewing through On-Campus
Recruiting or not, be sure to know your recruiting rights and responsibilities before you interview. You
should also be aware of the recruiting policies and procedures expected for employers. If you have questions
about MIT’s recruiting policies or how to handle a difficult situation with an employer, let us know. Email us,
come by during drop-in hours, or schedule an appointment on CareerBridge.

2. Schedule a Mock Interview. Interviewing takes practice. Start by reading our advice for a successful
interview, but practice with us too. A mock interview with a career advisor can be helpful — especially if
you’ve never interviewed before. Mock interviews are 50 minute one-on-one appointments. We'll ask you
common interview questions and offer constructive feedback about your responses. To prepare, practice on
your own with InterviewStream (requires MIT login).

3. Prepare to Negotiate. Even before receiving a job offer, you might need to negotiate. Maybe you want to
reschedule an interview, or you need more time to make a decision. Once you have an offer you hope to
accept, there may be pieces of it you'd like to negotiate, such as start date, salary, relocation
reimbursements, signing bonus, or even elements of a non-disclosure agreement. Learn how to
negotiate with help from us. See our events calendar for a negotiating workshop and schedule an
appointment to talk your situation over with a career advisor.

8. F/ASIP
Find internships for the summer after your freshman year with help from our Freshmen/Alumni Summer
Internship Program.

Freshmen/Alumni Summer Internship Program (F/ASIP)

 Build the skills you’ll need to land internships and succeed in your career. Get connected with alumni and find
mentors. Join the growing F/ASIP network.
To learn more, check for a F/ASIP Info Session on our event calendar or talk to a F/ASIP advisor. If your
company would like to participate in the program, see our F/ASIP employer page.

What is F/ASIP?
The Freshmen/Alumni Summer Internship Program (F/ASIP) is a nine month program starting in January of
your freshman year. F/ASIP is a series of two classes that will teach you to find and secure an internship or
other career-building opportunity for the summer after your first year at MIT. The course includes helping you
figure out what kind of work matches your skills and interests and provides opportunities to network with
F/ASIP and MIT alumni.
F/ASIP won’t place you in an internship – we'll teach you how to get one yourself. Most participants have an
internship, UROP or MISTI experience the summer after their first year at MIT. In the summer, we'll connect
you with an industry mentor within your field of interest. Even without an internship, this class teaches skills
and builds connections that will benefit you for your entire career.

What are the advantages of participating in F/ASIP?

Exclusive access to:
● Freshmen-only job postings
● Mock interviews with employers
● Weekly newsletter with freshmen summer opportunities and events
● MIT alumni panels and presentations
● Peer mentors and MIT alumni mentors

What skills will I learn?

● Career first steps like self-assessment, industry and company research, and developing a career plan
● How to write an effective resume and cover letter
● How to create a LinkedIn profile and use LinkedIn tools
● Interviewing and negotiation
● Professional etiquette and communication
● Networking and informational interviewing

What’s the time commitment?

The first part of F/ASIP is SP.800 (3 credits), which runs during the month of January and through the early
part of the spring semester. SP.800 consists of online webinars, a full day symposium at the end of IAP, spring
semester classes, peer mentor meetings and assignments.
We run two full day symposiums at the end of the very last week of Independent Activities Period (IAP), but
you only need to attend one. If you have a conflict, you can come to the morning of one day and the afternoon
of another.
The second part of F/ASIP, SP.801, prepares students for the Fall Career Fair and launching into their
sophomore year internship search. SP.801 consists of an online webinar, virtual hangouts, homework
assignments and a presentation on your summer experience.
 How do I sign up?
Pre-Register for the first part of F/ASIP (SP.800) in December. In order to maintain the quality of the program,
we cap participation at 100 students. Students who pre-register for the class must be able to fully attend the
F/ASIP Symposium. Pre-registration opens December 1, 2017 and will close December 28, 2017. It is added to
your Spring class load and counts as three units toward your 57 unit limit. Listener status is available if needed.
In addition, we recommend you complete the following prerequisites:
● Draft a cover letter and resume and have each reviewed by us during drop-in hours. Try tailoring these
documents to an actual internship, UROP, MISTI, or other opportunity you are considering applying for this
summer.
● Upload your revised resume to your CareerBridge account.
Note: Participation in one of the full day symposiums held on the last two days of Independent Acitvities
Period is required. This year, the F/ASIP Symposium will be offered Friday, February 2, 2018 and Saturday,
February 3, 2018. If you have a conflict, you can come to the morning of one day and the afternoon of
another.

How can I learn more?

Please check for a F/ASIP Info Session during the fall semester on our event calendar, review our FAQ page or
contact us at fasip@mit.edu! Interested MIT first-year undergraduates can also email the F/ASIPteam to ask to
be added to the F/ASIP Interest List to receive updates and more information.

 Post Jobs and Internships

Before You Get Started

Looking to hire MIT students? Start by reviewing our Recruiting Policies to develop a successful recruiting
strategy. Next, you’ll need a CareerBridge account to manage internship and job postings. CareerBridge is an
online career management system enabling employers to search and view student resumes, post jobs and
internships, participate in career events, manage on-campus recruiting schedules and report MIT hires.

Creating a CareerBridge Account

From the CareerBridge Employer Login page, select “Create a New Account.” Search for your username to see
if it’s already in the system. If it’s not, complete the registration form.
Once you’ve registered, it will take us a day or two to review and approve your request. Once approved, you
are expected to follow our recruiting policies and procedures.

Posting Fee
Each posting costs $30 and is active for 90 days. If you need a longer duration please
email careerbridge@mit.edu with the requested timeframe, or call us at 617-715-5327.
International employers who need alternative payment methods are encouraged to
contact careerbridge@mit.edu.

Steps for Posting a Job or Internship

Login to your CareerBridge account and click 'Job Postings', then click "Add."
Once a posting is submitted and paid, it will take a day or two for staff to review it before making it available
to students.
Tip: Don’t just post that job! Advertise your opportunity for more success in recruiting applicants.

Recruiting for Internships

In addition to CareerBridge, recruit interns through:
● MIT Internship Programs run outside of CAPD.
● UROP (MIT Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program)
● Student Financial Services (for part-time or seasonal jobs during the fall or spring semester)
● iNet, a free internship network shared by MIT, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, NYU, Northwestern, Rice,
UPenn, University of San Francisco, University of Southern California, and Yale.
● x-terms - program that allows MIT juniors and seniors to do a part-time semester-long internship while still
taking classes on-campus.
MIT does not have co-op programs and most MIT students intern during the summer. Typically departments
do not offer academic credit for internships, and any requests to do so should be sent to
the appropriate department’s academic administrator.
To learn where MIT students have interned, their salaries and more please review the Summer Experience
Survey.

Unpaid Internships
 We expect all employers to abide by the standards set forth under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), a
federal law that establishes minimum wages for work performed. In accordance with this law, the U.S.
Department of Labor has developed six criteria for differentiating between an employee and/or intern entitled
to minimum wage or more, and an employee and/or intern who may be legally unpaid.
We will not approve unpaid positions posted in CareerBridge if they are not in accordance with the FLSA.
In addition, MIT supports the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) position on unpaid
internships.

Recruiting for Alumni

The MIT Alumni Job Board, maintained by the MIT Alumni Association, allows employers to post opportunities
easily and exclusively to MIT alumni. Posts are only visible to verified MIT alumni who hold bachelor’s,
master’s, and PhD degrees from MIT, including the Sloan School of Management.
Tips for Writing Job and Internship Postings
Generic job or internship postings won’t interest as many students. Taking the time to craft an interesting and
detailed posting will yield a more robust applicant pool. Some tips to consider:
● Provide specific examples of the type of work involved for the internship or job, if possible.
● Instead of listing majors, identify specific competencies or skill sets for each position. Many MIT students,
regardless of major, have a broad range of skills.
● Share information about your company, particularly if you’re a start-up or don’t have a long history
recruiting at MIT. Spotlight interesting company projects, products or accomplishments.

Recruiting Guidelines and Resources

Recruiting MIT students is an exciting and fruitful process for all involved, and our Employer Relations Team is
available to guide you and facilitate a positive experience. In addition to our recruiting guidelines listed below,
the following tips and resources will be helpful in learning how to build your brand here at MIT:
● Student Salary and Enrollment Data
● Recruiting Calendar
● Advertise at MIT
● Travel to Campus
● Hiring International Graduates

Recruiting Guidelines
Employers seeking to recruit MIT students for internships and jobs (through on-campus activities or
independent recruiting processes) are expected to follow Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) guidelines, as
indicated by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Professional Standards for University
Relations and Recruiting, in addition to our outlined guidelines below.
Full-time Job Offers: The recruiting cycle at MIT starts annually with the Fall Career Fair, taking place this year
on Friday, September 21, 2018. Employers are asked to provide students until October 19th, or four (4) weeks,
whichever is longer, to make a decision on full-time job offers, including internship conversion full-time job
offers.
Internship Offers: We ask that employers provide students until December 1st, or four (4) weeks, whichever is
longer, to make a decision on internship offers.
 Tips for Successful Recruiting
● Provide Students Time: Employers are cautioned from asking students to decide upon internship or job offers in
advance of the Fall Career Fair or from providing students with short decision timelines throughout the year as they can
result in students reneging on offers, which is strongly discouraged. Career Services offers programs and services to
assist students in their job search, evaluating offers, and decision making so that they can provide a response to an
employer as soon as is possible. We discourage students from making rushed decisions about offers and request that
employers be flexibile with offer deadlines, finding a compromise that will work for both the student and employer.
● Avoid High Pressure Tactics: No special incentive should be held out to induce early acceptance of an offer, nor should a
student be subjected to the terms of an exploding offer. The term "exploding offer" is used to indicate a very quick
response time, reduction in offer package, or any other practice that puts unreasonable pressure on a student (same-
day or next-day second round interviews, abbreviated deadlines for accepting offers, and/or exploding salary bonuses
and offers.
● Consult with Employer Relations: If an employer foresees a challenge with any of these recruting guidelines, we ask that
you contact Employer Relations. It is our hope that discussions in advance of recruiting will improve the employer and
student experience during the recruitment process.

Interview Rounds
When asking students to come back for second/final round interviews, employers must attempt to
accommodate students’ schedules and allow reasonable time if their schedules need to be adjusted. CAPD
recruiting guidelines require that students cannot cancel an interview with one employer to attend an
interview with another employer. Students will be penalized for missing an interview (with the exception of
illness) or cancelling without 24 hours’ notice.
Employers are asked to support students in upholding prior commitments to academics and other previously
scheduled interviews. Please observe these guidelines:
● Second-round interviews should be held on Saturdays or at times not in conflict with other employers' first-round
campus interviews.
● When non-conflicting or Saturday second-round interviews are not feasible options, the following guidelines must be
honored. Employers should extend invitations for campus second-round interviews to students a minimum of 72 hours
in advance. Off-campus second-round interviews should be scheduled no sooner than seven days after the student's
initial interview.
● It must be clearly communicated to the student at all times that they should feel comfortable speaking up about any
scheduling conflicts. Employers must offer alternative dates, without negative consequences, for a second-round
interview if the date originally suggested by the employer interferes with a valid conflict.

Full Disclosure of Start Date and Basis of Compensation

Start Dates: All offer letters must include a start date. Candidates who interview with employers on campus
expect to start work after graduation and by mid-September at the latest. Employers who anticipate start
dates later than September 15 must disclose this information in their job descriptions and when scheduling
campus recruiting dates. Employers who knowingly delay employment start dates beyond the terms specified
in the offer letter will not be permitted to recruit on campus for at least one year.
Basis of Compensation: For employers to participate in on-campus recruiting, they must offer bona fide
positions that do not require new hires to pay a fee for training or other job-related expenses. Employers who
compensate employees based solely on commission (i.e. without a base salary as well) must clearly disclose
this information in the job description. Employers who compensate employees based on partial commissions
must disclose accurate estimates of expected earnings in their job descriptions. They must also present an
accurate base salary/expected first-year salary at that time.
 Timely Communication: Employers are expected to keep student informed of their status in the hiring process
and to communicate hiring decisions within a reasonable time frame.

Room Refund Policy

Interview room reservations are eligible for refund only if both of the following criteria are met:
As of July 20, 2018, room reservation reimbursements will be issued up to 30 days after the booking, but
not later than 30 days before the reservation date.
Previous Reimbursement Policy (Please note that any room reservation created prior to July 20th will be subject to the previous
reimbursement policy)
● Cancellation is no more than 90 days after payment date
● Cancellation is no less than 30 days before the interview date
Inclement Weather and Institute Closings
Career Advising & Professional Development is required to follow MIT protocol about inclement weather and
emergency closings. Up-to-date information on closing decisions can be found at the MIT homepage, the
MIT Emergency Information page, and on the Snow Line (617-253-7669 or 617-253-SNOW).
If your On Campus Interview schedule is cancelled due to MIT closing, the Employer Relations team will work
with you to identify potential rescheduling options or provide a refund if you are able to conduct your
interviews by phone or video conferencing as an alternative. Employers will be expected to contact their
applicants directly about interview cancellations and alternative interview options.

Non-Discrimination Policy
Career Services makes its services available to employers who do not unlawfully discriminate in the selection
of employees on the basis of national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other
basis prohibited by applicable law.

Third-Party Representatives
Campus interviews must be directly scheduled and conducted by the organization's employees, rather than by
third party representatives. For a definition of a third-party representative or recruiter, please see NACE's
Third-Party Recruiting Policy.
As stipulated in these guidelines, third-party recruiters will not disclose to any employer, including the client-
employer, any student information without obtaining prior written consent from the student. Under no
circumstances can student information be disclosed other than for the original recruiting purposes nor can it
be sold or provided to other entities. Online job posting and resume referral services must prominently display
their privacy policies on their web sites, specifying who will have access to student information.
Third-party recruiters who charge students for services will not be permitted to use any CAPD services.

Alcohol
Serving alcohol should not be part of the recruitment process. This includes information sessions,
presentations done on or off campus, and all events that are company-sponsored during the recruiting
process.

Consequences of Unacceptable Recruiting Practices

Students rely on the GECD’s relationship with employers to advise them and insulate them from problematic
or unethical practices. To do anything other than honor this commitment would show negligence and
complete disregard for the well being of students. If an employer foresees a challenge in being able to adhere
to NACE or MIT's recruiting guidelines they should contact Employer Relations prior to recruiting at MIT. It is
our hope that discussions in advance of recruiting will improve the employer and student experience during
the recruiting process.
Note that employers knowingly violating NACE or MIT recruiting guidelines may receive deferred interview
dates or be denied access to the recruiting program for the following season. Letters to campus student
groups may also be sent with the name of the employer involved and the behavior cited whenever such
penalties are imposed.

Use of Social Networking Sites in Selection of Candidates

Recently NACE reported that a significant percentage of employers are using social networking sites such as
LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc. to screen potential candidates. As an employer participating in OCR events,
we expect you will provide a clear explanation of your selection process to potential candidates. If you
consider the content of a social media profile in evaluating a potential employee, we request that you state
this in your job description for any OCR events.

Confidentiality Policy
All materials received from our students (letters, resumes, transcripts, via email or hard copy), should be
shared only with those persons at your firm involved in the hiring process. Forwarding these materials
potentially embarrasses applicants or compromises their current employment; it also creates a negative
impression of your organization.

Schedule Interviews

Interview Students On Campus

You can reserve interview rooms for On-Campus Recruiting through CareerBridge, our online reservation
system.
We have 24 interview rooms located in MIT building E17 on the second floor. Each room has a table, seating
for two interviewers and student, phone and a large dry erase board. Unfortunately, we don’t have space for
group interviews.

Fees and Limits

The fee to rent an interview room is $200 per day, payable by credit card at the time of the reservation.
To ensure open access to all employers, there is a cap of 6 rooms per day. We ask that you contact us about
larger recruiting needs rather than reserve 6 rooms on multiple days.

Hours and Scheduling

Interviews can be scheduled between 8:45am to 5:00pm. All interviews must be completed by 5pm.
We provide a complimentary schedule system through CareerBridge that is optional for employer use.
Employers are requested to clarify any scheduling process for students if not using CareerBridge.
Our Recruiting Calendar will let you know when interview room reservations open.
Information regarding directions, parking, and hotels
Cancellation Policies
 Interview room reservations can be refunded within 90 days of payment, provided we receive notice at least
30 days in advance of the reservation.
Please provide us and students 24 hours advance notice of an interview cancellation.

School Closings and Emergencies

Our office aligns with all official MIT closings. Please check the MIT Emergency Information page for up-to-
date closing information. Additionally, any unexpected closing will be posted on our home page. In case of an
emergency closing, we will work with you to reschedule any event you may have arranged through our office.

Tips for Interviewing on Campus

● Read the MIT Recruiting Policies and Procedures to develop a timeline for making offers to students.
● Plan in advance if scheduling on-campus interviews around one of the many career fairs offered throughout
the year.
● Include MIT alumni from your company in the interview process.
● Try to be flexible but consistent with your schedule as MIT students tend to pack their days very full.
● If a student has an academic conflict with an interview time, consider connecting on the phone, via Skype or
over coffee.
● Clarify the next steps in your company’s interview process as it differs from company to company.
 Book a Company Presentation

Build Your Brand at MIT

You will find recruiting here at MIT is a bit different than at other colleges and universities. To be successful

● Becoming a member of the Employer Connection Program
● Hosting students through F/ASIP and other internship programs
● Participating in the annual Employer Symposium
● Sponsoring CAPD through a variety of programs
Note: Some departments conduct their own recruiting -- contact Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and
the Sloan School of Management directly for details.

Grados y Másteres con Prácticas Externas

La Universidad Complutense de Madrid cuenta con un ambicioso programa de Prácticas Académicas Externas, a través
del cual, los estudiantes pueden realizar prácticas en empresas o instituciones de carácter curricular o extracurricular. El
principal objetivo del programa es garantizar al estudiante la realización de prácticas formativas y de calidad. Las prácticas
académicas curriculares, gestionadas por el centro responsable de la titulación, se consideran como una asignatura, y
como tal, el número de créditos ECTS (y por tanto su duración), así como su carácter (obligatorio u optativo), se establecen
en el plan de estudios de la titulación. Por otro lado, existe la posibilidad de realizar prácticas académicas extracurriculares,
gestionadas por la Oficina de Prácticas y Empleo (OPE) de la UCM. Las prácticas extracurriculares, concebidas como una
formación práctica en un entorno real de trabajo, pretenden ser una experiencia que contribuya a facilitar la inserción
laboral.

3. Plan UCM de Formación para el Empleo

● Objetivos del programa e Información del contenido de los talleres

Una de las áreas estratégicas de la Oficina de Prácticas y Empleo de la Universidad Complutense es la formación
y orientación para el empleo.

Los conocimientos específicos que se imparten en nuestras titulaciones deben de ser complementados
necesariamente con una formación destinada a incrementar la empleabilidad del estudiante, a través de la
adquisición de competencias fundamentales para el mercado de trabajo y del conocimiento y práctica de
herramientas y técnicas de vital importancia para la búsqueda de empleo.

El Plan UCM de Formación para el Empleo comprende una serie de cursos cortos o seminarios, denominados
“Claves para el empleo”, que se imparten en una sola sesión de 3 horas o dos sesiones de 3 horas cada una. Tras
la realización de distintas “claves” que sumen un total de 15 horas se puede solicitar el reconocimiento de 1
crédito ECTS.

Las personas interesadas en profundizar en alguna temática concreta, cuentan con el “Programa de Desarrollo
Profesional”, que incluye actividades formativas de 24 horas y 1,5 créditos ECTS.

Todas las actividades propuestas tienen un gran componente práctico, por lo que están diseñadas para grupos
formados entre 8 y 15 estudiantes.

Por otro lado, y como complemento a estas alternativas formativas, la Oficina de Prácticas y Empleo pone a
disposición de los estudiantes y titulados un servicio de atención individualizada para orientar o reorientar su

Talleres en carreras y facultades

El CDP realiza talleres y servicios adaptados a las particularidades de cada carrera, por lo general dentro de algún curso terminal de la
malla o bien como optativos para los alumnos interesados. Algunas de las carreras con las que trabajamos son Trabajo Social,
Psicología, Agronomía, Ingeniería Civil, Ingeniería Comercial, Medicina, Derecho, Letras, etc.

Servicios personalizados
Corrección de CV: Consejos prácticos que incluyen la entrega de un informe con principales aspectos a mejorar.

Simulación de entrevista laboral: Consiste en recrear de manera lo más real posible una entrevista personal. Se recibe un informe
posterior de retroalimentación por parte de una psicóloga del centro.

primer trabajo.

Participación en ferias laborales: Damos a conocer nuestros servicios de apoyo en eventos tanto de la Universidad como externos.

Programa Mentoring
En 2018, el Centro de Desarrollo Profesional UC (CDP) implementó el Programa Mentoring UC, iniciativa orientada a estudiantes que
están en los últimos años de su carrera. El objetivo es ofrecer a los alumnos(as) un espacio de exploración del campo profesional de
su interés y construcción de su proyecto profesional, siendo guiados por un ex alumno de su escuela o facultad, con amplia
experiencia laboral en ese ámbito.

Las primeras facultades en las cuales se implementó este programa fueron Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, y Letras

MENTORING UC PARA ESTUDIANTES DE AGRONOMÍA/ING.FORESTAL

 Acompañado por un ex alumno de la facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, los estudiantes de esa carrera que ya están en sus
últimos años de estudio de pregrado, podrán explorar el campo laboral de su interés y así desarrollar un proyecto profesional acorde a
sus objetivos.

Las duplas serán conformadas en función de los intereses personales de ambos y las reuniones serán coordinadas según la
disponibilidad de tiempo que tengas con tu mentor

Para unirse al programa, los alumnos(as) deben cumplir los siguientes requisitos:

 Contar con 400 créditos aprobados al momento de postular.

 Tener una disponibilidad de 12 horas libres al semestre, aproximadamente, para dedicarle a las diversas reuniones que deberán
sostener con su mentor.

Los estudiantes interesados en formar parte del programa Mentoring UC, deben completar ESTE FORMULARIO

El plazo para postular vence el día jueves 22 de marzo.

No dejes pasar esta oportunidad para empezar a planificar tu proyecto profesional y futuro laboral!!

Amplía tus horizontes

Al momento de terminar la universidad, un mundo de posibilidades laborales se abre. Sin embargo, dentro de esa amplia gama de
oportunidades, hay ciertas plataformas de trabajo que no siempre logran atraer a los estudiantes o recién egresados debido a que no
se encuentran visibles en las bolsas de trabajo tradicionales.

Las organizaciones no gubernamentales y de carácter social ofrecen constantemente alternativas laborales, tanto voluntarias
como pagadas, para alumnos de último año o licenciados que deseen trabajar en el tercer sector.

Es cierto, quizás no ganen mucho dinero, pero los beneficios que recibirán serán aún más valiosos: podrán utilizar sus conocimientos
específicos para hacer un cambio real en la calidad de vida de las personas que lo necesiten, y en el caso de organizaciones
internacionales, además podrán vivir la experiencia de trabajar en otro país.

No olvides que todas estas alternativas trabajan a un nivel profesional, por lo que tener buenas intenciones no es suficiente.
El entusiasmo no va acompañado de compromiso, eficiencia y responsabilidad.
