Internships

An internship is a temporary work experience that involves on-the-job training. It can help you prepare for a career by allowing you to develop relevant skills and knowledge in a real-world setting.

Internships may be found through university internship programs, through programs run by agencies or businesses, or through direct contact with potential internship hosts. An internship is most valuable when it allows you to demonstrate creativity and initiative and provides you with experience that will help you reach your goals after graduation.
