Professional Career Experiences

The professional career experience internship is a one semester course designed for qualified students who want to explore a career.

 

Internships are an important element of the career development process. An internship is not the same as a short-term job; internships have structured learning goals, provide supervision and offer an experiential learning component that can strengthen your resume. Internships can expand your knowledge of yourself and provide you with insight to the career fields that interest you. You will also gain marketable skills related to the field and make important contacts. Internships allow you to apply your classroom knowledge in the workplace. You can find out what you like (or don’t like) about various types of jobs while determining the best fit for your career preference and interests. Internships can be paid or unpaid.
