Johnson & Wales University : Hands-On Learning

Hands-On Learning

At JWU, you won’t just study what you love — you’ll do what you love. A major part of your education here includes hands-on learning built right into the curriculum.

So you'll have the opportunity to build valuable industry experience and key career skills long before you graduate.

You have the drive. JWU helps you acquire the knowledge, skills and most importantly, the experience to excel in your field. Get hands-on at our Providence, North Miami, Denver, and Charlotte campuses.

Work with Faculty Experts in Hands-on Labs
It starts in the classroom, with faculty mentors who are industry professionals.

Working closely with them in small classroom settings, you'll learn industry best practices and train on career-specific tools and software.

Internships
Jump start your career by gaining on-the-job work experience that sets you apart from the competition.

At JWU, you have the opportunity to intern at top companies in your industry.

Professional Development
Career fairs and on-campus interviews are just the start.

Connect with guest speakers, leadership training and professional development opportunities in our professional clubs and National Student Organizations (NSO's).

Community Service
Volunteering isn’t a hobby — it’s a chance for you to become a leader.

Work on community service projects that develop the skills you need to thrive in your industry, while you give back to your community.

Study Abroad
Our hands-on learning extends across the globe. Gain global perspective in your career field, make lasting career connections and train with experts and real clients in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa.
