FOCUS ON INTERNSHIPS
Internships can be a vital part of a college student’s experience and an important step to career planning. Over the next few weeks, we will present a new series of articles on Internships.  Our first article is "8 Ways to Find an Internship".  Click here to read the entire article.

What are Internships?  Internships are work-related learning experiences that provide college students and new graduates with an opportunity to explore and gain important knowledge and skills in a career related field. They are relatively short term in nature and provide on-the-job training.  Internships offer a chance to gain relevant experience in a particular career field as well as the opportunity to determine if that field is of genuine interest to the intern as a career.

Many organizations use internships as a way to assess and train potential candidates for jobs. Connections made during internships are an excellent way to build a strong professional network for the future.

Check the website over the next few weeks for lists of available internships, an analysis of paid versus unpaid internships, and information about international internships, internships for credit and tips for successful internships.
