Committed to Increasing Experiential Education Access & Opportunity

The University of Rhode Island’s Center for Career and Experiential Education (CCEE) is committed to every student having access to high quality experiential learning. In addition to working to increase opportunities across all majors and industries, we are also aware that we each might face barriers, some known, and others unknown, as we travel on our own personal education and career journeys. Whenever and wherever possible, it is our goal to help remove barriers to career success or assist with navigating obstacles to experiential learning. This webpage serves as a location to share resources: individuals and networks, financial support /scholarship opportunities, fellowship programs, and educational trainings. Check back often for updates!
