What can you do to make a difference?
Consider working with students in your community through any of these opportunities.
Job shadow
Job shadows empower students to observe you performing your daily duties while asking questions about your role to get a realistic perspective about your job.
Micro-Internship
Micro-internships provide students an opportunity to research and explore your career, then produce entry-level work that is authentic to the tasks you would do.
Career Connections
Career Connections are live webinars you can host for a group of students interested in learning about your industry. You can share pathways to pursue your career, perform a demonstration, offer a virtual tour of your workplace, or hold a Q&A.
Outside Expert
Being an outside expert connects you with a student exploring your career. As an outside expert, you can provide feedback on a project they are working on or answer any questions students may have about your field in a one-on-one setting.
Company Partnership
Establish a company partnership with us to exhibit your commitment to building a healthy workforce and equipping students with the skills they need to succeed. We’ll work together to develop experiences students can pursue at your organization to prepare for their future careers. Plus, we’ll celebrate and promote our partnership with our community.
Hear from our partners.
Working with VLACS was a great experience. Their administrative and teaching staff were terrific to work with and very welcoming and attentive.
I think VLACS, the opportunities that you have available for your students, is fantastic because it provides for open dialogue. I had great questions. It keeps me on my toes. It is a great opportunity for anyone in any sector.
My experience as a VLACS Professional Partner has been phenomenal. I’ve been able to engage with students in a career day session and also to provide internship opportunities. VLACS students are intelligent, engaged, and rewarding to work with. I highly recommend this program to support the education and development of our next generation of colleagues.
I hope that students feel encouraged hearing my story and how I got into the field and what I’m doing with my career now… That they just feel encouraged to pursue those things and to not feel discouraged when their path towards something doesn’t quite look like their classmates or their friends around them.
