Intern For A Day Mandatory Orientation (OPTION A: In-Person)

Location: University Career Center (3100 Hornbake Library, South Wing)

The University Career Center's popular Intern for a Day program connects undergraduate UMD students with professionals (including alumni, parents/family members, and other off-campus partners) for in-person job shadowing or virtual informational interviewing experiences to explore potential career fields of interest. After participating in a mandatory orientation and completing an application, University Career Center staff match you with an professional of interest for a half- or full-day job shadowing experience or a virtual informational interview.

All students interested in participating in Intern for a Day must attend an orientation session in order to receive access to the application.  Students can choose to attend one of two options to meet the mandatory orientation requirement:

• Option A: Attend one in-person orientation (two dates available) OR
• Option B: Complete the virtual, asynchronous orientation available on February 10 through Sunday, February 23. Visit go.umd.edu/IFAD for further details.

What to Expect

The purpose of this mandatory orientation is to give University of Maryland undergraduate students insight into how the Intern for a Day process works and how to best prepare for a job shadowing and virtual informational interviewing opportunity if we are able to match you with a professional through the program.
