One of our goals is to provide opportunities for students to gain professional and service oriented experience to prepare them for life after WOU.

In addition to numerous career readiness offerings, we support a variety of programs that give students hands-on experience working with organizations both on and off campus.

WOU CIP

WOU CIP applications will open in the Fall term each school year for approximately 4 weeks, after which we begin scheduling interviews. The internships begin at the start of Winter term and finish at the end of Spring term. Typically these opportunities require about 10 hours of work per week.

Are you looking for another internship opportunity? Off-campus internships? Summer internships? Log into WolfLink/Handshake and make an appointment with CPP Staff to learn about internship possibilities.

Contact Program Staff at woucip@wou.edu if you have any WOUCIP-specific questions or email pathways@wou.edu for any other internship related questions.

Volunteering

Volunteering your time to support a cause in your community can be one of the best ways to enhance your experience as a student. Each year our office plans a serious of service events for students to give back and get involved in our local community – Martin Luther King Jr. Week, Earth Day, Community Impact Day, and more! 

New volunteer opportunities are announced regularly. To be the first to hear about them, sign-up for our WOU Volunteer list-serve to get the latest service project and volunteering news.
