Why complete an Internship?



Colleges and employers alike are coming to
expect to see internships listed on the
resumes of potential students and
employees.
An internship is a great way to get an
inside glimpse of a company, an industry
and a particular occupation. It can help
you discover if the career you are
considering is right (or wrong) for you
before you spend time and $$$ on postsecondary educational programs.
Many times internships turn into job
offers. All the more reason to do an
internship and to take the job very
seriously -- it is the first impression you
make on someone who may be a future
employer.
Senior Internship meets the criteria for
graduation project service hours.
Bridges: students eligible to participate in
Bridges Internship program (limited
availability) may use this experience to
meet the graduation project service hours
