Oberlin College offers various opportunities for students to gain practical experience, including Winter Term internships. Here's a guide on how employers can post Winter Term internships and entry-level positions for Oberlin students.
Utilising Oberlin's Platforms
Employers can create an account on two platforms to post current and future Winter Term internships: OberLink and Handshake.
OberLink
OberLink is a platform where students and alumni connect for career conversations, networking, and more. While it's not the primary job posting site, it can be useful for networking with Oberlin students and alumni.
Handshake
Handshake is the primary job and internship database for Oberlin students. Employers can create an account, post their opportunities, and manage applications on this web-based career management system. To post a summer or winter term internship or entry-level position for Oberlin College students, use Handshake.
For detailed help and access, visit Oberlin’s Career Exploration and Development (CED) page or contact their office for employer services. They can assist with posting jobs and internships on Handshake and guide you on engaging Oberlin students. CED also runs career advising and community programs that can enhance your outreach to students.
Winter Term Internships at Oberlin College
Winter Term internships are typically offered during the month of January. These internships are part of Oberlin College's Winter Term program and are often offered by Oberlin College alumni. Many alumni offer Winter Term internships in addition to summer internships.
To submit a Winter Term internship, you can create an account on OberLink, create an employer account on Handshake, or send an email to CED about the position. Submitting positions to CED allows them to market the opportunity to students through Handshake, an online recruiting system.
When emailing CED about a position, remember to indicate that you are an Oberlin alum. Your posting will be contacted within three business days to confirm receipt.
In summary, to post Winter Term internships and entry-level positions at Oberlin College, utilise the Handshake platform, create an account on OberLink for networking, or contact Oberlin’s Career Exploration and Development office for support and guidance.
- Leveraging both platforms, OberLink and Handshake, employers can post Winter Term internships and entry-level positions for Oberlin students, with Handshake serving as the primary job and internship database.
- To make the most of Oberlin College's opportunities, besides posting positions on Handshake, employers can network with students and alumni via OberLink, which can extend to discussions about Winter Term internships.
