Bunker Hill Community College's Humanities to Career Program seeks to redesign the College’s Humanities and Liberal Arts (HLA) programs in ways that enhance and expand career preparation for HLA students.
The Humanities to Career Program takes a “career-everywhere” approach, amplifying and building new initiatives for Humanities and Liberal Arts students within the following areas of the college:
- Working closely with Bunker Hill’s Advising and Career Development staff, the Humanities to Career Program seeks to highlight the professional value of Humanities and Liberal Arts degrees and to assist students in choosing a career path that aligns with their professional goals. Learn more about our Academic, Career, and Transfer Advising initiatives and our Career Development programs .
- The program will support the growth of paid Learn & Earn internship opportunities for Humanities and Liberal Arts students. Discover more about our Learn and Earn Internship program or search available internship opportunities on Handshake.
- Bunker Hill’s Ethnographies of Work initiative is a series of professional development trainings for faculty and staff designed to increase career-focused activities in the classroom. Building on this strong foundation, the Humanities to Career program will support a deepening and scaling of this coursework in our Humanities and Liberal Arts degree programs.
- Beginning with a pilot program in the 2024-2025 Academic Year, BHCC will launch a Microcredentialing initiative within the Division of Humanities and Learning Communities that will equip students with a tool to articulate employer-validated skills that they learn within their Humanities and Liberal Arts degree programs. More information on this microcredential program will be available on this page once it is available.
The Humanities to Career Program is generously supported by the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Foundation, in collaboration with Jobs for the Future.
