Internship Opportunities

Strengthen your academic experience and appeal to potential employers with an internship. Internships offer valuable work experience, help you develop marketable skills and beef up your resume. Best of all, they can help you land a job after college.

An internship allows you to experience real-world application of your academic studies and gives you important insights into the typical workday in this company or field. Exploring careers in this way can help you decide whether this career field is a good personal fit.

If you decide this is the right career for you, this internship will provide you with an edge on other applicants in a competitive job market.

Consider the following:

  • Experience. Studying a major is one thing; applying that knowledge to "real world" situations is entirely another. In an internship, you learn to back up your smarts with action.
  • Contacts. Working with professionals, you tap into a network that can offer references, advice and information about new job opportunities.
  • A future job. Many companies use internship programs to bolster their recruitment efforts. Working with interns gives them the chance to try out motivated, ambitious students before employing them. If the intern makes the grade, the company may make a permanent job offer.

Not merely resume builders, internships can play a crucial role in every stage of career planning. The time to think about applying for an internship is now - plan early, and use these "experimental careers" as a means to pave the way to a bright future.

The following opportunities are available with IIAT member agencies:
