It's the classic dilemma: You can't get a job unless you have work experience, and you can't get work experience unless you have a job.

Not at Sweet Briar.

Sweet Briar women rarely have to worry about this dilemma because we guarantee access to internships and work opportunities both on campus and off. You have the opportunity to gain the very experience employers are seeking — and a chance to try on a profession.

Along the way, we will help you keep track of your work experience and accomplishments through an electronic portfolio that you can share with prospective employers.
