Husky graduates are sought after by a wide range of employers — Fortune 500 companies, mission-driven nonprofits, government agencies, biotech startups and more. UW students benefit from the Seattle area’s booming economy, with internship opportunities in a wide range of industries, from high-tech to the arts, and a global network of nearly 600,000 Husky alumni. And the Pacific Northwest’s entrepreneurial culture thrives on our campus, where undergraduates can make industry connections or get a head start on launching their own company.

Level up: Build skills employers want

Employers have identified core skills that are critical to students’ success in the workplace. We help students build these skills and provide registered students with free access to LinkedIn Learning, an on-demand video learning platform for developing academic and career skills.

Creating career-building experiences for students is a core driver of our work. We coach students on how to find and maximize internships; employers on how to hire and support interns; campus managers on how to create internship opportunities; and academic departments on how to manage internship courses.
