Make the most of your Align experience
Align students have access to strong academic resources, a dedicated advising team, and most importantly a diverse community of peers. You’ll attend classes with the same cohort, and we encourage you to study together and support each other. By leaning on your cohort during your bridge year, you’ll build valuable relationships as you learn computer science, make vital connections as you enter the larger master’s population, and add key contacts as you bring CS or DS skills to your job or launch a new career after graduation.

Preparing for your co-op or internship
More companies are seeking diverse perspectives like yours. Prepare for your co-op or internship—or an enhanced role at your current company—and gain the critical work experience you need to take the next step in your career. Below are a few tips for Align students.
Brainstorm your professional brand
It’s never too early to start differentiating yourself as a professional. Your previous experience, combined with the CS or DS knowledge gained in Align, creates a strong professional brand that’ll help tell your story when networking and interviewing.
The diversity of thought and “soft skills” you bring as an Align student are directly relevant to the field of tech—and a huge plus for employers seeking candidates with strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
The CS or DS experience learned in Align will suffice for your co-op or internship, and it’s easier for companies to teach technical skills on the job. So make sure to speak to your soft skills when connecting with employers and crafting your professional brand.
- Action Step 1 – Reflect on your previous experiences. How have you demonstrated soft skills? What were the outcomes? Brainstorm specific examples and positive results.
- Action Step 2 – Track examples on a spreadsheet to reference as you prepare for your co-op/internship search. Map your skills to the requirements of potential jobs.
Create your academic plan
The bridge semesters are a great time to review master’s course offerings, develop an academic plan, and start to build the foundation—along with your bridge courses—of what you’ll showcase to prospective co-op and internship employers.
To inform your academic plan, meet with your academic and/or co-op advisors, conduct informational interviews, and research what different tech positions require.
- Action Step 1 – Identify courses that offer the technical skills and experience needed for job positions of interest. Add the information to the spreadsheet you started above.
- Action Step 2 – Meet with your advisors to discuss courses and design your academic plan.
