Welcome to Field Work Term

FWT welcome

Just as Bennington encourages each student to chart their own academic course through the Plan process, in Career Development and Field Work we encourage you to embrace your individuality and to innovate in the working world. Field Work Term at Bennington is about much more than just preparing for jobs; it is about discovering your strengths, values, and creative ambitions and how these shape your direction for your life and career.

Like all things at Bennington, you will be at the center of your Field Work Term planning—but our advising staff are ready and eager to assist you early and often. You will be able to book advising appointments for help with setting goals, clarifying skills and strengths, exploring careers, preparing job applications, housing and logistics, and much more. Our staff also hold regular drop-in hours to address any quick questions, and we encourage you to stop by.
