Welcome to Field Work Term
The Career Development and Field Work Term Office empowers students to explore their distinctive career aspirations while developing the skills and confidence necessary to succeed. Just as Bennington empowers academic exploration through the Plan Process, our office encourages you to embrace your individuality and innovate in the professional world. Field Work Term is more than preparing for a job—it’s an opportunity to uncover your interests, strengths, values, and creative aspirations, ultimately shaping your life and career trajectory.
Like all things at Bennington, you are at the center of your Field Work Term planning—and our career advisors are ready to assist you early and often. Through one-one-one career advising, our team assists with career exploration, Field Work Term search planning, application material review, interview preparation, and more.
