Get Ready for the Search

An internship is any opportunity to explore career interests, gain experience, build skills, and make connections in professional fields. They can be paid or unpaid, full-time or part-time, for academic credit or not, for a specific time period. They are valuable experiences and crucial in preparing for your post-Goucher plans.
