What is an Internship?

An internship is a work-based learning experience related to your career goals and can be an important and impactful part of your career journey.

Internships:

  • Can be done for electives or required credit (depending on your major)
  • Can be paid or unpaid
  • Unpaid internships should be done for academic credit to provide you with worker’s compensation coverage
  • Can be done full-time or part-time
  • Can be done at public, private, non-profit, or government organizations
  • Are great for clarifying your career goals, enhancing classroom learning with on-the-job experience, building your resume, acquiring skills, and creating your professional network

Where can I find an internship?

At the C2 Hub, we work with various platforms to post the most up-to-date internships and jobs. Some of those resources can be found below!

Parker Dewey Micro-Internships

The Classroom to Career Hub is excited to partner with Parker Dewey to offer micro-internships to students. A micro-internship is a short-term project that can be completed within 5-40 hours, typically due within a week to a month. These projects require no onboarding and can be completed with minimal instruction. These are important but low-risk tasks that can be completed either on-site or remotely.

NOTE: These opportunities are not eligible for academic credit.
