At Beacon College, students have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience that supports them in defining career goals. Internships in the local community help students understand their strengths and how they relate to career choices. Investigating options and exploring appropriate career choices maximizes strengths while minimizing weaknesses and contributes to a successful transition from college.

In the Field Placement Program, students develop a transitional plan while taking courses in Psychology and Culture of the Workplace. This is an action plan and an important part of determining a student's career path. Some students may also develop a transitional plan for graduate school and are assisted by an academic advisor in finding the graduate program that best suits their professional and educational goals.
