The Yale Office of Career Strategy offers career advising, professional school advising, employment and internship opportunities, and career development resources. Our office works with students and alums of Yale College, Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and postdoctoral scholars to clarify career aspirations, identify employment and educational opportunities, and offer support at every stage of career development.
Yale students pursue many exciting and diverse careers after graduation. We invite you to visit our Yale College Outcomes: First Destination and Yale College Outcomes: Four Year Out to learn more about the choices of Yale students. Our team of highly experienced career advisors look forward to working with you to craft your summer and post graduate job search.
Considering Time Off or a Gap Year Before Starting Yale?
Some admitted students consider taking a year off or ‘gap year’ before starting college. The Office of Career Strategy only advises current Yale students, but our website is full of helpful public information. Students considering a gap year are encouraged to check out the following resources to assist in your search:
- Update your resume and learn how to write a cover letter.
- Use a variety of job boards, such as idealist.org.
- Create a LinkedIn profile to search for internship listings.
- Follow OCS on YouTube for career workshops, alumni panels, and animated advice.
