Internship Programs

Internships provide excellent means for enhancing an organization's recruitment activities. Organizations have access to prospective employees and are given the opportunity to view the intern for future potential without any commitment to hire. The National Association of Colleges and Enployers in their 2007 Experiential Education Survey found that companies are offering 70% of their interns full time positions up from 52% in 2005. Interns hired for full-time positions represent 36% of full time hires.

Internships provide better utilization of full-time personnel. A student intern can provide professional or para-professional staff support on short or long-term projects where it would not be advantageous to divert other qualified employees from their specialized areas.

Through the classroom, students are in touch with the most recent theoretical and technical innovations. Consequently, the student can often bring new ideas and skills to the organization, stimulating creative thinking and providing new alternatives.

How the Internship Program works:

  • When opportunities arise, an internship description and information about your organization are submitted to the Career Center via Slugquest.
  • Internship opportunities are publicized in the Career Center office, to college and program offices, and selected departments of study. In addition, they are featured in our interactive database allowing students to access information by career field, location, pay type, etc.
  • Students apply directly from the information they have obtained from the above sources.
