An intentional supervised learning experience in which the ultimate goal is to increase a student's knowledge and sharpen skills within a work or services environment. Internships vary in length from a few weeks to up to a year. Internships can be a very structured learning experience or they can be designed to meet the expectations of the student. They can be found in government, industry, professional, corporate, and non-profit settings. Our internships are done locally. They can be part-time, estimated to work 20 hours, paid or unpaid, and some can be taken for academic credit. Internships can be done during the academic year or during the summer break. The one thing all good internship opportunities have in common is they provide students with career-related work experience.
