Employers will look at an applicant's academic record, extra-curricular activities, leadership positions, and previous work experience as well as the applicant's academic major. Universities, businesses, government agencies, and industries actively support internships and cooperative education opportunities for students in every major. Students who share in these experiences learn the procedures and policies of organizations where they may seek future employment. A positive work experience from an internship or cooperative education program can reinforce career choices or result in changes in career goals. In any case you, the student, benefit.
Career development is never over.
With each level of experience and learning, new knowledge is gained and the desire to learn increases. Learning and continued advancement are the gateways to the future.
