Jumpstart your Professional Journey with the Help of Experiential Learning
A simple process to gain resume-boosting experience through hands-on collaborations with real companies.
What is Experiential Learning?
Experiential Learning is a way for students to gain real-world experience while still in college by working on projects to solve real issues for real industry partners.
Students who participate in experiential learning benefit by identifying and developing career-related skills and attributes employers are seeking. Students also engage in behaviors that support personal and professional development, such as reflection and self-assessment on areas of strength and areas which require improvement.

My Spring 2021 Virtual Internship with the Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville, Florida is going really well! I believe Diane and her team are impressed with our work so far.My fellow intern, Melanie, is truly a godsend to work with! She’s more of a presenter than I am, so I do most of the research, and she does most of the presenting. We’re a great duo!I will really be sad when this project is over. This has been great experience!

The KiT Undergarments was my first consulting project I have worked on, which really opened my eyes to the consulting field. I was able to work as a team, yet also become a leader within that team. I had the ability to work with project mentors who taught me the different aspects needed to consult; from communicating with the client to the precise details that create a neat and organized presentation for the client. Over the months spent committing myself to the project, I began to realize that I had a passion for this field and wanted to use this new knowledge on further projects. When I had heard about consulting internship opportunities with CapSource, I knew that was something that would greatly benefit me, as it was another opportunity to gain more insight in this field. Being selected to consult for C Evans is an amazing opportunity, and I am excited to work with, and learn from, my new team.

I believe [this experience] will be useful. Google analytics is very popular so having first hand experience with it is very nice. Furthermore, the CRM data was very interesting to work with since it wasn’t quite as prepackaged as the google analytics data which I think is great experience to have for a job. Management was very good for the project. The timeline was well laid out and we were able to organize ourselves to get it done without much hassle.

This one credit internship will look great on my resume and provided me with technical skills relevant to my program of study. A big thanks to Dr. Stone from the Math department for working things out with CapStone.

This internship will be helpful for future job placement. We were exposed to
a variety of applications used to interpret data that are unlikely to appear within
the computer science curriculum… the preparation and presentation of our group
findings forced me to improve my MS Office skills which is always desirable in a prospective employee. I think the experience was very well managed. Our group always had clear expectations, goals, and deadlines. Lesly was very clear with what she wanted from us and provided ample resources to help us succeed. I sincerely believe this experience was positive for everyone, and appreciate the opportunity
to have been a part of it.

My experience of participating in multiple experiential learning projects was gratifying in many ways. I developed career-related skills that I would not have been able to get elsewhere and had first-hand experience working with real companies. I think college students worldwide should take advantage of the opportunity to learn, develop their skills, and find purpose in their work through CapSource.

We were given a goal and allowed to choose our own tools as well as the autonomy to decide on our approach! This was an awesome opportunity to apply what we’ve learned in a high-stakes, real-world situation with a real client. As a member of the winning Oregon Tech team, I was able to truly integrate with the Coinsource team throughout the case competition. We are surprised with a summer internship and eventually a full-time offer to work at Coinsource!

From the very first meeting, it was ‘GO!’ The experience was amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to participate in this type of experiential learning.
