Experiential learning is a valuable tool in helping students build career competencies, learn about professional work settings and explore possible careers. However, not every student has equal access to internships, job shadowing or other high-impact practices because of other responsibilities or a lack of documentation. Sarah McNally, assistant director of career services and employer relations at Arrupe College of Loyola Marymount Chicago, highlighted a new initiative geared toward first-generation and undocumented students. Arrupe LEAD (learning, exploration and development) Career Fellowships offer a cohort of students two months of experiential learning in a cohort model, accompanied with reflection exercises and network connections, to help them land an internship. The experiences exposed learners to their desired career field and built professional skills as well as compensated students for their time.
