What is an internship?
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.
