The FCC serves as an advisory resource for BBAs seeking internships. It is important to understand that internships do not have as structured a marketplace as full-time employment. It is very difficult to identify which companies will recruit, as organizations vary each year according to their needs and interests. The FCC is committed to a proactive outreach program to increase the number of companies recruiting here for internships. So it is important that you use all the resources available to you, including the FCC and your own networking.
