Internships

Internships give students the chance to put what they’re learning in the classroom into practice. Along the way, they gain experience, develop professional skills, build connections, and learn more about their interests, strengths, and career goals. An internship can also help students figure out what they enjoy — and sometimes what they don’t — before they graduate. For employers, internships provide an opportunity to work with talented students while helping prepare the next generation of professionals.
