As students approach their junior and senior year, I strongly encourage them to take a practicum and internship. This is an opportunity for students to get hands-on experience in a professional career. The practicum is usually an unpaid experience under the direction of a faculty member. An internship places a student in an area business. In both cases, the student is able to earn academic credit for the number of hours they are involved on the work site.
Internships are very beneficial to career development.
Let me tell you about one of our current students and his internship experience. Anup Sharma is a business management and computer information systems double major. He now has an offer to work for them next summer as well as for two years after he graduates. Huntington College is located in delightful Huntington, Indiana .
