Amin was assigned a three-month project to analyze bank service charges for prospective Wendy's restaurants. He finished the project in three weeks and is now working alongside high-paid executives in the treasury department. This type of work is a lot different from school work. It's tough to admit at work that you don't know how to do something. You simply will not be competitive in the job market unless you graduate with co-op or intern experience.
Internships are one-time work experiences that ty pically last three to six months.
Students are encouraged to attend on-campus interviews and apply to as many different companies as possible. One of the most popular reasons students give for not pursuing internships and co-ops is because they do not want to delay their graduation date. Kannard said this is not a problem for most students. Our interns come from all over the country. We usually have three to five students a year from Ohio State.
