Internship Success

Landing an internship is more critical than ever, with data from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) showing that students with internship experience are significantly more likely to receive a full-time job offer before they graduate.

Internships offer students invaluable opportunities that go beyond the classroom, helping them prepare for successful careers.

1. Gain Real-World Experience – Apply classroom knowledge to practical work situations.
2. Build Professional Network – Connect with industry professionals and potential future employers.
3. Enhance Career Readiness – Develop skills, confidence, and workplace habits that employers value.
4. Boost Job Prospects – Increase chances of landing a full-time position after graduation.

More importantly a NACE report found that nearly 60% of graduating seniors who had an internship received a job offer, compared to just over 37% of those without one.

The competition for these opportunities is intense because most students are trying to secure them at the same time for the summer. This concentration of effort makes the process challenging and highlights the need to start early.

Instead of waiting until your junior year, you should begin thinking about and actively pursuing internships during your freshman and sophomore years. Taking this proactive approach allows you to gain valuable experience, build your resume, and establish a professional network, all of which will make you a much stronger candidate for a more selective internship later on, and eventually, a full-time job.

This course explores a variety of internship opportunities:

• Micro-Internships – Short-term, project-based experiences to build skills.
• NIL Internships – Opportunities helping student-athletes leverage Name, Image, and Likeness.
• Traditional Corporate Internships – Hands-on experience in business and professional settings.
• Nonprofit Placements – Gain experience while supporting community and social causes.
• Research-Based Internships – Engage in academic or scientific research projects.
