Internships An internship is a structured learning experience in a work setting. Internships are a great way to explore a career field before committing to it while gaining valuable workplace skills.
Organizations sometimes use internships to recruit and hire potential candidates.
The majority of internships take place in the summer but many are available throughout the year. You will find internship programs at private corporations, government offices and nonprofit organizations. Internships are valuable in many ways. A few students come to college confident about their career goals and with a road map for the future, but most are still exploring options. You may have ideas about what you would like to do, but are not entirely sure.
