Vermont Colleges Boost Career Prep | Burlington News
Two Vermont colleges are shaking up the academic game with bold new programs designed to launch students straight into careers. Champlain College’s “flex thirty” model lets students spend an entire year gaining real-world experience through internships, co-ops, or study abroad—building resumes while still in school. Meanwhile, Saint Michael’s is teaming up with the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce for a local co-op program that connects students directly with regional employers. They’re also launching two groundbreaking majors: one in emergency services covering EMTs, wildlife rescue, and crisis management, and another in science education to tackle teacher shortages statewide. These initiatives aren’t just about degrees—they’re about equipping graduates with the practical skills and industry connections they need to thrive right after graduation.
