Looking for a way to gain hands-on experience, explore a potential career path, and connect with professionals in the industry? Applications to join Professional Edge Immersions for winter term 2027 are now open! Professional Edge Immersions are short-term, hands-on experiences that give you the opportunity to work directly with an organization on an applied business challenge. You'll build practical skills, learn more about a particular industry or career area, and make connections with professionals, all while earning a microcredential and gaining experience you can take with you into your future career.

Whether you already have a career path in mind or are still exploring your options, immersions are an opportunity to try something new, build your skills, and see what a career in a particular field could look like.

Offered through the Lundquist College of Business, Professional Edge Immersions are open and FREE to all University of Oregon students, regardless of major. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and share it with anyone who may be interested.

Applications to join these immersions close on Sunday, November 22 at 11:59 p.m.
