Relevant Experiences/Internships
In today’s competitive market, employers increasingly expect students to obtain relevant experience prior to graduation. This relevant experience may be acquired in many ways – an internship, part-time job, summer job, temporary position or even a volunteer opportunity. Experiences may be obtained on-campus, in the community, throughout the United States and world. Students pursue these experiences to test their abilities and refine their skills outside the classroom. Employers benefit from the work students complete and also have the opportunity to see whether they would be well suited for future employment in their organizations/industries.
