Internships


Gain professional experience while earning academic credit! An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting (NACE 2023). 

While students typically complete internships during their junior or senior year of college, it's never too early to prepare your resume and cover letter and begin applying for and participating in internships.

 

Apply for an Internship!

Unlike most jobs, internships are usually filled well in advance. Recruiting timelines vary by industry. However, in general, you should start looking for an internship at least 4-5 months in advance. Search hundreds of internships in Handshake and at Winthrop's annual Career Fairs!
