Internships

Why do an Internship?

  • An internship helps you narrow down career choices, solidify career goals, learn more about a specific company where you might want to work, or gain insight into a specific industry or career field.
  • An internship is a way to “get your foot in the door” of an industry or a specific company. It provides you with the opportunity to make an impression that might lead to a full-time job offer, job referrals, mentors or professional contacts.
  • Finally, an internship can clearly enhance your marketability. It develops and builds on your professional skills, it demonstrates you are familiar with the industry, its environment and expectations and reinforces your interest in the field.
