Internship & Volunteer Opportunities
Internships provide a great way for you to obtain practical work experience in your chosen major or career. Generally, internships are short-term, paid or unpaid, and are a great way to get your "foot in the door" within an organization which can potentially lead to a full-time career opportunity. Whether paid or unpaid, internships are a valuable tool to jump-start your career and are great resume builders. Students with internship experiences often have a competitive edge when job searching.
Gaining hands-on experience through internships and volunteer work is a great way to build your skills, expand your network, and enhance your resume.
