It's the answer to the Catch-22 dilemma of needing skills to get a job and needing a job to get skills. Internships allow students to learn about their field of study and to gain experience before leaving college. This experience can give you the skills and connections you need to succeed in the job market.
Many combinations exist.
You have the flexibility to tailor your experience based on your life commitments and your educational goals. Students interested in an internship experience need to begin the process at least one semester prior to beginning the internship period. This will allow the time needed to match you with an internship experience that best suits you. Visit a Career Center to view the Internship Opportunities Book and complete a Student Internship Application. If you are eligible, you will receive a letter from the Workplace Learning and Placement Office instructing you to take the following steps.
