How to ethically accept a job or internship offer
It is the time of year when students receive job and/or internship offers. You’ve put in a lot of time and effort, and it’s good to celebrate this accomplishment. It’s an exciting time! This note is to review how to accept an offer ethically.
Review the offer details in full, make a final decision, and communicate to the employer whether you accept or decline the offer.
If you accept, remember that you agreed to Middlebury’s CCI Student Code of Conduct which states, “After I accept an internship or job offer, I agree to immediately withdraw all pending applications and cancel all scheduled interviews (on- and off-campus). I will notify my career center that I have accepted an offer.”
This means that it is unethical to continue applying and interviewing for opportunities to see if something better comes along.
It is a small world, and you do not want to burn any bridges. Reneging on an accepted offer reflects poorly on you, can hurt future relations between Middlebury and the employer, and affects other students.
Please keep this in mind as you evaluate your options, and here at CCI we are always happy to help you evaluate and respond ethically to offers.

Interested in Working on Equity in Energy Efficiency Programs? CEE is HIRING!
This opportunity comes to us via a Middlebury alum who is looking for a graduating senior or graduated Feb:
The Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) is seeking a motivated, highly organized individual to serve as a Program Assistant for the new Center for Energy Behavior and Equity at CEE focusing on the human dimensions of energy efficiency programs. The Center will address the challenge of ensuring that energy users benefit more equitably from efficiency programs. This work will also focus on how to leverage behavioral science techniques and nudges (such as social norms, loss aversion, anchor bias, etc.) to benefit energy efficiency programs. The launch of this new Center builds off of CEE’s current collaboration with the UsersTCP of the International Energy Agency (IEA) on better engaging “Hard to Reach” (HTR) customers (such as low income, low-English proficiency, BIPOC, and small businesses) in energy efficiency programs.

The successful candidates will have a strong interest in the interface of politics, policy making, and business.
Very friendly Midd firm. As an alum said: “We do really interesting work that would appeal to Middkids that have a deep interest in politics and policy (domestic or international). IPE, Poli Sci, Econ are typical backgrounds, but frankly we seek critical thinkers that write well and are fun to work with. We are very open to any degree as long as the candidate has a deep interest in politics and policy.”
