The results of a satisfactory internship will leave a student invigorated, focused, and better able to suceed. It will mark the student as a self-starter, someone who can take on additional challenges. How It Works Finding the internship is the student's responsibility. A number of larger firms recruit internship participants directly from the formal presentations and interview process run by our School's recruitment office.
Some faculty members are also aware of available internship programs.
In any case, the operating relationship in a cooperative internship is between the student and the work site. These less-structured and often smaller internship sites are highly desireable for some students. On the other hand, certain internship programs are decades old and have published literature about their programs with specific personnel assigned to recruit on campus. There is abundant need for both types of structure. The internship director will be available to applicants for assistance in the formulation of these site-student dyads.
