Internships

Internships provide you with real-world experience; a chance to discover your career passion and resume-enriching activities.

Internships are at the heart of your early career journey. They provide you with hands-on experience, a chance to discover what you do - and don't - like, and resume-enriching activities such as "created," "managed," "exceeded," "published" and "designed."

At the Career Center, we can help you with resources to find an internship. We can help you prepare your resume and cover letter. In some cases, we even provide you with some training and a monetary stipend through the Career Center Internship Award.
