An internship (full-timepart-time) is a real world experience related to your career goals and interests. It may, but does not have to be related connected to your academic major or minor. Internships can be done dur ing the academic semester andor summer. There are several varieties of internships: some are paid, some are not and some offer credit towards graduation (from Stonybrook University's Career Center). Internships can be what helps you stand out in your job interviews after college. Most employers look for a combination of formal education and experience. Not only are you gaining valuable hands-on experience, you are also networking and making connections to professionals in your fu ture career field. CTGR Higher Education encourages students to explore internship opportunities to supplement their college education.
