Business Internship

Our Business Internship Coordinators carefully arrange job placements that are directly related to the career interests of our students.

After an initial interview, interns are given information about the sponsor company and begin working as volunteer professionals during regular business hours. Progress Reports are maintained, and interns are given opportunities to share experiences with other students.
