Career Exploration and Development and thousands of Polar Bear alums are here to support you virtually—no matter where you are in your college career, or where you are in the world.

Check out Handshake to schedule appointments, find jobs and internships, and use our extensive resource library, built by our advisors specifically for Bowdoin students. Learn how to write a résumé, connect with the Bowdoin network, and more.

Internships are as important as ever for Bowdoin students to build their credentials in this economy.  We continue to post Bowdoin Preferred internships and source thousands of additional internships from organizations across the country, and in the summer of 2020, Bowdoin provided funding for 100 students whose internships would otherwise have been unpaid.
