Seniors often come to Career Services wanting to find work opportunities that last only a year or two before they begin further studies in graduate or professional school or move on to more permanent employment. These opportunities also serve as a great launching pad for seniors who want to test out a field before committing to it longer term as well as those seeking a unique, challenging, or adventurous short-term commitment.  

There are several resources to use:

1. 1-2 Year Options/Fellowships Database (Career Services). The place to start!

2. TigerTracks. Search for year-long post-graduate internships and fellowships (Use the 1-Click Search called “Post-Graduate 1 to 2 Year Options and Fellowships”).

3. Princeton-affiliated Programs. A quick way to view Princeton-specific programs.

4. Princeton's Guide to Postgraduate Fellowships. Includes special opportunities and academic fellowships, particularly those that support graduate work.

5. Schedule an appointment with a Career Counselor by calling 609-258-3325 to discuss whether or not a working fellowship is the right option for you.
