Wellesley's On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) program brings employers from diverse organizations and companies to campus to recruit students for internship and full-time opportunities. In addition to interviewing through Wellesley, employers partner with Career Education as co-educators, organizing dozens of workshops & info sessions each year.

Wellesley students are extremely motivated with high levels of integrity and work ethic. They take advantage of their available resources to solve complex problems. The students are always asking intelligent questions so they understand the bigger pictures that the analysis they are completing is a part of. Wellesley College's rigorous academics prepare students for challenging internships and provide students with very mature perspectives.
