Interns

WHY ENROLL INTO OUR RESIDENCY AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAM?

COMING SOON!

An intern is a trainee who has signed on with an organization for a brief period. An intern's goal is to gain work experience, occasionally some university credit, and always an overall feel for the industry they're interning in. An intern provides an extra set of hands that can often help accomplish goals or finish projects.

LEADERSHIP AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT
  • Experience - One of the recurring themes in any entry level job search is lack of experience. "Where do I get experience if no one is willing to hire me?" The answer is simple: Get an internship!
