How to post an opportunity

To advertise a project to our students, you need to first set up an account or log in to Harvard Chan CareerConnect.

Harvard Chan CareerConnect serves as a gateway for employers seeking to attract and hire public health talent from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as well as post Practicum projects and explore additional employer services. Current students have 24/7 access to our Practicum listings.

If you have already been in touch with Practice Office staff or the Office for Career Advancement, they may have already set you up in CareerConnect and sent you custom links and instructions for logging in.

1. In the left-hand side bar on the home page, select “Jobs”.
2. Select “Job Postings”.
3. Click the red button labeled “Post A Job”.
4. Choose “Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Only” / “Post Job To this School Only” in response to “Where would you like to post your job?”.
5. Under Position Type, select “Field Practice Opportunity (MPH Practicum, DrPH Field Immersion)”. This is the first check box in the list. Note: Please do not select “Internship”.
6. Fill in all required fields and select Submit. You can also work on a draft by selecting “Save and Finish Later” if needed. Email the practice team at mph-practice@hsph.harvard.edu with any questions.
7. The practicum project will be viewable to the students at the posting date after approval by the practice team. Approval for positions may take up to 48 hours.

A practicum posting can be detailed or fairly brief. Both are effective. See samples below.
