Company Internships+-

Many companies and organizations have established internship programs only found on their own website. If you are interested in working for a specific organization, visit their website to search for internship programs (examples include Disney, Warner Brothers, General Electric, Google, JPL and many more).

For more information about searching for an internship, assistance with resume and cover letter writing, and interview preparation, make an appointment with a career counselor in the Career/Transfer Center.
