Careers
Career Development at SILS encompasses three areas: exploring different information careers and industries, developing career related skills to succeed in these roles, and connecting with alumni and employers. Our goal at SILS is to offer career development guidance and services so that our students can gain the relevant experience they need during their program to be successful in their post-SILS positions.

Jobs and Internships
Employers are looking for graduates with experience. Experience can range from field experiences for credit, to internships (paid or unpaid), to professional opportunities during the school year or over the summer. This experience helps employers evaluate how you’ve taken the technical competencies and information skills you’ve learned in your program and applied them in a real world setting.
