Employers not only look for internship experience on your resume but are delighted to see career-related experience, knowing that your knowledge goes beyond the classroom. Internships can be found in companies, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and advocacy groups. They provide exposure to life in business and industry, legislative and executive branches of government, and public and private organizations.
Internships can be for spring, summer or fall.
Some are paid, some are credit, some may offer a small to modest stipend, and some may not offer any salary or stipend. Many in industry and government offer competitive wages while nonprofit organizations may pay little or nothing. Regardless of which way you choose to go, the experience is undeniably worth it in the end. There are numerous resources available on campus to assist you in your internship search.
