Many CVA students have been offered full-time employment from their internship providers upon graduation, or have developed contacts for future employment.
Students are encouraged to seek out desired positions with businesses, organizations, or particular areas of interest. Students make speak with department chairs to obtain recommendations and referrals for potential opportunities. In addition to gaining work experience, students may earn a specified amount of credit determined by the nature of the internship.
7. What are portfolio reviews?
Each student is scheduled for a portfolio review in the third and sixth semesters of attendance. These reviews allow faculty to evaluate a student’s overall progress towards program completion. The portfolio review also offers students intensive advising time with a group of faculty to ensure that the student is progressing at an appropriate pace through the program. In unusual instances, portfolio reviews may result in a student being advised to retake some classes, or indicate that additional time at CVA would be beneficial. For more information, please contact Registrar Lois Caneday lcaneday@cva.edu.
