Workshops
Find an internship! It won’t find you!
An internship is one of the best ways to gain experience in your chosen field (and to build your resume), to confirm if the field or major is a good fit for you as well as to add richness to your classroom learning. Since about 60%-70% of workers found their latest job through networking, internships are a tremendous way to start building the relationships that are the critical foundation of networking. This workshop will cover the basics of finding an internship.
All workshops will be held in the Career Center Library, Driscoll South Lower Level
