Experiential Learning
Defined as:
- Building knowledge as a result of experiences that happen within and beyond the classroom.
- Building skills to grow as an individual and professional based on reflections of these experiences.
An easy way to explore industries and gain experience is through micro-internships and on-demand simulations. Apply for paid short-term projects on Parker Dewey and access on-demand self-paced virtual work simulations on Forage. These platforms provide you with the flexibility to test out a variety of industries and job functions, on your schedule! Build skills needed to succeed in your field.
The following represent selected opportunities within the New York University community. Many additional resources, offices, and initiatives exist, especially within individual schools and departments. These may include mentoring programs, advisory boards, additional funding opportunities, and more.
We encourage you to meet with a career coach to discuss the Violet Ready Skills gained through experiential learning and how to articulate them to employers or in application materials.
