Internship Opportunities
Internships allow you to incorporate on-the-job-training while still attending school. Interns may be compensated for the time on the job. Internships allow you to sample a job without making any long-term commitments. The successful completion of an internship makes you more likely to be offered a job by the host agency upon graduation. At the very least, the knowledge and skills you gained during the internship reflect well on your resume!
