What can an internship do for me?

1. Allow you to explore careers…try out a discipline or two.
2. An internship is a good opportunity for students to learn new skills and gain practical experience in the workplace.
3. The focus of an internship is to perform work-related tasks and projects related to your major or occupational goal.
4. Improve your college performance…classroom curriculum can be more meaningful when it relates to your internship
5. Provide employment advantages…you will have business references and contacts; you might earn a higher salary since you will already have job experience; and sometimes an internship can lead to a job!
6. Give you a head start into your field…pre-existing work experience can set you apart from other recent grads in the competitive job market.
7. Different employers we work with offer paid and unpaid internships, both potentially providing you the opportunity to earn college credit.  For information on the internship process, please review the following information.
