Information Sessions

Internships
The Student Success Center serves as a central location to post and promote internship opportunities to students. Interns bring new energy and a fresh perspective to the workplace. Additionally, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ interns offer technical, research, communication, and problem-solving skills. Internships allow students to apply knowledge learned in the classroom, gain real world experience, develop professional contacts, and demonstrate and continue to build the career readiness competencies employers seek in new college graduates.
In most majors, student interns typically work part-time (10-15 hours per week) during the academic year and full-time in the summer months. Some earn academic credit, while others intern for the practical experience only. Internships may be paid or unpaid, although compensated internships attract more applicants. We strongly encourage employers to follow the Department of Labor guidelines on unpaid internships.
