Internships & Community Engagement

Experience matters, whether it is paid work, internships, or community engagement. Hands-on experience is the best way to gain real-world skills, build a network of professional contacts, and test out careers that best suit you. Employers seek job candidates with experience. Internships and community engagement help you build your resume and increase your chances of getting the career you want.
