Back to college, back to business

Rosa Solis '26 at Rock County JumpstartOne of many students involved in career preparation experiences this past summer, Rosa Solis ’26 worked with Rock County Jumpstart through Impact Beloit. “One of the most meaningful parts of my internship,” shares Rosa, “was the opportunity to work closely with so many dedicated and inspiring business owners.”

Hello Beloiters! A cornerstone of an education at Beloit College is growing as professionals. Explore the many ways to get this real world experience, on and off campus. Here are some steps you can take to get started!

  • Connect with one or more of the Schools on campus. Events and activities are offered all year to learn more about potential career opportunities and access career-focused advising – three events this week!
  • Visit Career Works. Staff are ready to help you prepare for almost any experience: applying for jobs on campus, working in the local community, and thinking ahead to graduate school or employment opportunities after graduation.
  • Mark your calendars. Events are lined up for fall. That includes learning from this year’s invited scholars participating in the Beloit Residencies and utilizing campus resources like the Center for Entrepreneurship (CELEB), the Wright Museum, and the Logan Museum of Anthropology.

At Beloit College, career exploration is an integral part of your college experience, as long as you take the first step!
