Internships and Volunteer Work

Internships and volunteer work are designed to build on the skills and knowledge you acquire in the classroom.  You also gain valuable experience and insight into a particular field, occupation or organization that you are interested in. In addition, Internship experience provides you with an opportunity to gain on the job training, work experience in the industry, as well as practical knowledge on establishing business relationships with your co- workers and employer. Once you have a clearer understanding of what your work environment will be like, you can make an educated decision on whether your targeted career is appropriate for you.
