Establish contacts with Wartburg graduates through the Alumni Career Network. After reading about a job and talking with people in that field, get some hands-on experience. A field experience allows you to test a career before you reach a final decision. Talk with your faculty adviser and use the Alumni Career Network to develop your contact database. Internships Internships allow you to explore career possibilities or to prepare for a chosen career.
Some internships award academic credit.
Interns often work on specific projects or perform teaching or research tasks at a professional level.
