The Career Enhancement Opportunity Exploration (CEO) Program at UW-Madison facilitates graduate students’ participation in internships in career environments outside of academic research. We anticipate that students will make informed decisions about which of the many career paths to pursue post graduation. The program is designed to benefit not only the student, but also the participating hosts by connecting them to better-prepared interns and potentially stronger future job candidates.
