Career-Related Experience

Many of our students participate in experiential learning opportunities during their time at Virginia Tech. This may be an internship, cooperative education, research, study abroad, service learning, or other experience that allows students to apply classroom learning to real-world work environments through learning, reflection, and connection to future career goals. This is a snapshot of those experiences, as reported by students on the First Destination Survey report and does not represent the experiences of all students at Virginia Tech.
