INTERVIEWING

INTERNSHIPS

Many employers look for experience in applicants, and that might be something you don’t have when graduating college. However, internships provide you with real-life experience, which will appeal to employers. Internships are a great compliment to your academic accomplishments. Not only will an internship help you get a job, it’ll make the transition from college to a real-world career easier. Many students who have participated in an internship say that they gained more knowledge and skills that they’ll use in their career while interning than they ever did through academics.

MANY DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES HERE AT NCMC REQUIRE AN INTERNSHIP TO BE COMPLETED.
