Internship Opportunities

High-Impact Internships

Career readiness and workforce awareness are at the center of this program. We understand how critical work experience is for our scholars when competing for career-focused positions. As such we assist scholars in the securing summer internships each year that are focused on enhancing their understanding of….

• corporate culture
• professional etiquette
• industry knowledge specific to their career focus area
• the types of career opportunities available
• showcase the skills employers are looking for

“I secured three engineering internships in the construction industry during college. Through these internships I gained insights that you can’t get in the classroom. These opportunities led to a post-graduation employment offer, one of which I accepted. I am thankful for the assistance I received from Career Services in helping me learn how to make the most of each opportunity, as these are areas where my family was unable to help me. I now have the tools I need to navigate the real world!”
