What is an internship?
An internship is a professional learning experience that offers meaningful, practical work related to a student’s field of study or career interest. An internship gives a student the opportunity for career exploration and development, and to learn new skills. It offers the employer the opportunity to bring new ideas and energy into the workplace, develop talent and potentially build a pipeline for future full-time employees
Before Applying to Internships:
Create a Resume: This is very important because employers will look for a reason to hire you based on the skills and knowledge you have related to your major.
Be sure to include the following:
•Knowledge and skills you have in your major and “industry-specific” software, hardware, skills
•Education: list Montgomery College, High School, and any other college trainings
•Work Experience: paid jobs you have held
•Academic Projects: what you have learned in your classes
•Volunteer Experience: community-service or volunteer (especially within your major)
•Clubs and Organizations involvement
If you need help with creating a resume, email a Student Employment Services representative from your campus to schedule an appointment:
