The Vallejo Irvine Professional Development Program (VIP) focuses on providing professional development opportunities to all Mines students, an important part of the university’s MINES@150 campaign priorities and strategic plan. The program will supplement students’ rigorous technical education and experiences with professional skills, making students even more distinctive and prepared for the workforce upon graduation. The program was established through a generous gift from Mines alumni Fran Vallejo ’87 and Scott Irvine ’87. 

During this 9-week on-campus internship, VIP interns will assist in curriculum development, event planning and programming, and professional development research.  VIP interns will work independently and in teams to focus on various projects for VIP and the Career Center.
