Colleges grant degrees, but not job guarantees. Having relevant experience in this competitive job market is critical.

Your student can sample career options by completing internships and experimenting with summer employment opportunities and volunteer work.

​Why an internship?

• Employers are interested in communication, problem-solving, and administrative skills, which can be developed through internships.
  
• Employers look for experience on a student's resume and often hire from within their own internship programs.
  
• Having a high GPA is not enough.
  
• A strong recommendation from an internship supervisor may tip the scale of an important interview in the student's favor.
