What is an Internship?

An internship is an opportunity for a student to work (paid or unpaid) at an institution, company, or other employer in a professional field to gain supervised practical experience.

Who can do an Internship?

Anyone, anywhere can receive an opportunity to go on an Internship, even if you don't have the best grades. 

When can I go on an Internship?

While most internships are offered during the spring and summer, there are internships offered during the fall or winter semesters. You can also go to school while going on an internship and utilize your internship as credit hours.

Where can I go on an Internship?

You can go anywhere on an internship, if you can find an internship that offers what you want.  We currently have interns in Japan, Germany, Norther Ireland, and all around the United States.  If you are looking for an opportunity to go out of the state, overseas, or work while at home, there's an internship in that area that we can help you find.

Why an Internship?
