Internships contribute to the profitability of any organization. Inject new blood into offices. Have a fresh worker each time you hire an intern. Contribute to the education of a new generation of workers. Gain new perspectives from creative and motivated students.
Students study various academic disciplines.
Many combine a strong technical knowledge base with a liberal arts education. Illinois Wesleyan students routinely meet the workplace needs of social services agencies, legislative and municipal offices, banks, insurance firms, small businesses, law offices and many other organizations. Many interns will work full-time during May Term and the summer months. Some students will receive academic credit toward their degree. In this case, a faculty member will work with the sponsoring organization to outline internship requirement, and to complete a Learning Contract.
