Internships

Internships are academic work-based experiences with professional guidance that help prepare students for a career in their chosen field. Through internships, students explore their career interests and apply their classroom learning to the real world. These opportunities are viewed as an entry-level means of acquiring practical job training, building a resume, and making professional contacts that can help them find work after graduation. Depending on the academic program and the internship host, internships can be for college credit, no credit, paid, or unpaid. Internships are usually part-time and last for a semester. At ESCC, internships are tailored to the needs of students and the sponsoring employers that host internships. Most sponsoring employers require students to be enrolled in specific courses at ESCC in order to participate in internships. Contact Debbie Daniels, ddaniels@es.vccs.edu.
