An internship benefits everyone:

• Employers get highly motivated interns with current skills.
• Students gain work experience in a field they may choose for a future career.
• Students will meet and work with people who can suggest future directions and make referrals.

Look for an internship that’s a good fit for you and your career path. An internship is more than a summer job — it provides training and experience related to a career.
