Plan Your Internship Search

Internships are great experiential learning opportunities which guide you in making the connection from classroom learning to the professional world. Internships allow you to explore different career fields, gain practical work experience, learn new skills, earn academic credit (if applicable), and provide networking opportunities so you may increase your marketability for a full-time job and establish your career.

The CEDC Internship Program provides assistance in researching, locating, and applying for internship opportunities through events, online resources, and directly connecting you with internship positions. Career coaching is provided in order for you to clarify your professional goals, implement learning objectives, and make the most out of your internship experience through individual appointments and attendance in workshops. You are encouraged to make an appointment, attend events, career fairs, and workshops in order for you to make the most of your participation in the CEDC Internship Program.
