Host an intern

Our Education Data Science and Learning Design and Technology MS students complete a required internship as an integral part of their learning, and students in our other master’s programs often seek out internships and field work experiences. Hosting an intern is a great way to attract talent, build hiring pipelines, and support the career development of future education leaders.

Participate in a career fair

Stanford University’s central career education office, called Stanford Career Education, hosts many career fairs throughout the year and in a variety of industries. Career fairs provide an excellent way for employers to connect with education-passionate students.
