Gain Work Experience While Helping Local Small Businesses

Villanova's Career Center is looking for English majors to take part in a new initiative aimed at helping local small businesses navigate the disruption caused by Covid-19. Students seeking remote or virtual work opportunities can assist these businesses by promoting them and advertising their services. This work will not only help local businesses, but also provide learning and work opportunities for students.

The kinds of work available include: social media and online marketing, website building and payment processing, writing a business plan, and research assistance for loans. The first five positions received were all in areas that might be of interest to English majors: social media, marketing, digital video producer, website producer, and education.
