Paid Internships
Internships are paid work opportunities in private, public and not-for-profit sectors that can either be part-time (5 to 25 hours per week) or full-time (26-40 hours per week) during the academic year and summer, and can last 4, 8, 12 or 16 months in duration.
Internships allow you to:
- Gain hands-on experience while exploring potential career paths.
- Apply classroom learning to practical work environments.
- Build professional networks and expand career skills to be competitive in today's job market.
- Receive a notation on your official student transcript, which can add great value to grad school and/or your future employment applications.
