CAHNRS Internship Programs

What is an Internship?

A carefully monitored work or service experience in which an individual has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what they are learning throughout the experience.

How Can Internships Help You?

  • Gain exposure to real-world problems and issues that are beyond the classroom.
  • Evaluate specific companies or specific careers prior to committing to full-time employment—a “try before you buy” type of experience.
  • Increase self-confidence in the workplace while developing an expanded network of associates and professionals for job references.
  • Have resume-building experiences while applying academic concepts and principles.
  • Have hands-on opportunities to work with equipment and technology that may not be available on campus.
  • Improve time management, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Students who have completed internships are more likely to get a job at their internship site or with a competitor than students who have not completed an internship.
