EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
What is an internship?
An internship (full-time/part-time) is a real-world experience related to
your career goals and interests.
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. It may, but does not have to be related/connected to your
academic major or minor.
Not only are you gaining valuable hands-on experience, you are also
networking and making connections to professionals in your future career
fi eld. CTGR Higher Education encourages students to explore internship
opportunities to supplement their college education.
