“Nothing ever becomes real 'til it is experienced.”
- John Keats, Poet
Find an Internship
Did you know?
In the NACE Job Outlook Survey 2013 employers continue to express a strong preference for job candidates who had completed at least one internship. Because employers have fewer hiring opportunities and a larger pool of candidates, they often rely on internship evaluations to make hiring decisions. Internships benefit both students and employers. They help students transfer the skills they are learning in the classroom to the workplace, gain real-world experiences, make industry connections and perhaps even land a job. Internships allow employers to “try out” potential employees. Nudge students toward internship opportunities by showing them the power of planning for one.
