About Internships Tutorial

Each time an intern is finished with their experience, we send out an evaluation to get their feelings on how the internship impacted their education and what effect it may have on their future career.

The following is a list of reasons returning interns have given us on the importance of doing an internship:

1. To obtain practical work experience in my major.

4. To earn money to pay for my college education.
