Career Assessments

Granite State College offers free career assessments to students using Awato, a career pathfinding program that uses assessments to help you understand more about your career. Using Awato, you can explore degrees and careers that match your interests. It will also help you identify and apply for local internships and jobs. Need a new resume? Awato can help you update an old resume or build a totally new one.

Internships, Practicums, & More

At Granite State College, our community is comprised of working adult students so we design our degree programs to integrate with your career and goals. There are several types of courses at Granite State College that incorporate work experience.

The most common types of opportunities you’ll encounter at Granite State College include:

Internships
During internships, students work at a company, school, agency, or organization on an assignment or project that lasts up to an academic term in duration.
Practicums
Similar to an internship, a practicum is a course that requires both classroom time and several hours of work in the field at a company, school, agency, or organization.
Integrative Capstones
This is the final course students take in their degree program. The coursework integrates the concepts, outcomes, and knowledge gained throughout the duration of the degree program, with a culminating project, research, or internship experience that demonstrates what the student has learned.

B.S. in Digital and Social Media

Before working with Career Services, I figured my resume was fine. It just wasn’t great. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there were things I could do to make immediate improvements that I have since applied to my resume!

B.S. in Individualized Studies, Diversity & Communications

Four months following graduation, I was hired as a Director of Diversity & Inclusion. This was a HUGE career bump for me. More importantly, I’m doing exactly what I envisioned myself doing when I started at Granite State.
