The mission of the International Career Center (ICC) is to provide expert guidance, cutting-edge resources, and professional development experiences to help our diverse body of students achieve their career goals. Rather than acting as a one-time job link, our overall focus is on career management. We help you access available resources and activities and apply them to your career path.
While on campus all students get to experience, along with the academic program, a set of group workshops, one-on-one advising appointments, company presentations, performance opportunities, and other career related activities that will enhance their professional profile.
Craft Your Career Plan
Planning one’s career is essential for a successful professional outcome. The ICC works side by side with students on campus to help develop attainable goals throughout the year.
Sharpen Your Professional Skills
The ICC provides workshops featuring the tools and skills needed to improve students’ professional profiles, both online and offline. Our main objective is to equip students during their time at Berklee with a confident grasp on self management.
Meet the Industry
Students will be exposed to numerous opportunities within the industry, both on and off campus. The ICC helps to maximize those encounters with an eye towards strengthening their professional network.
From Student to Professional
As a student you decide how much time you want to dedicate to prepare for your career and how intensively you will work towards securing your dream job. Berklee graduate alumni are working in more than 50 different countries on five continents. Scroll over the map to see highlighted companies where some of them work.

The ICC is a great resource for learning about venues in Valencia that like to hire Berklee talent. In addition to providing this information, we can also offer guidance about the types of terms and conditions under which you should be working.
The rules and bylaws regarding employment vary from country to country. If you are interested in working in Europe after graduation, we recommend that you make an appointment, and we can discuss your options in person.
We have a group of Valencia alumni ambassadors with whom we can put you in touch. If you would like to talk with other alumni, we will show you how you can reach out yourself.
If you secure an internship, we require you to tell us about it through the Berklee Career Manager in order to obtain college credit. For jobs, we are happy to receive this information, but it is not required.
Given the numerous career profiles and countries represented on campus, the ICC is not responsible for finding an internship for you. All of the internships will be viewable on the Berklee Career Manager to give equal opportunity to all students. Once you have secured an internship, we may be able to provide assistance by providing visa information and/or ironing out other details.
Whatever your needs may be, the ICC is here to help. For quick questions, you can visit our drop-in hours from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. from Monday through Thursday, or for a full 30-minute session with one of our career experts, you can make an appointment on the Berklee Career Manager.
