Internship Search

Completing an internship is a great way to “try out” a particular career or setting and see if it is right for you. It is also a great way to gain hands-on experience, build on your strengths, and develop and refine your skill set. Professionals at Career Services can help you:

  • Identify and/or narrow potential employers, agencies, and organizations to apply to
  • Prepare a resume and cover letter
  • Practice your interview skills through a mock interview

Students interested in pursuing an internship for credit should contact their academic advisor. Please logon to Bears Career Connection to view current internship opportunities.
