Internship Resources

Freshmen
Freshman year is a great time to start exploring internship opportunities. As freshmen, some of you may already have ideas about fields you’d like to explore, and some of you may need a little assistance to figure out what fields you’d like to pursue. The CDC can help you learn how to research different career fields and determine what internship opportunities interest you. As freshmen, you may also run into the challenge of employers preferring older students simply because they have more experience and coursework completed. Though this is true, there are still many opportunities available to freshmen. A good way to get started is to come to the CDC’s Frosh Open House and Summer Job & Internship Series, held in January. Some other suggestions are to subscribe to the “Undecided Newsletter” in your CDC registration profile and make an appointment with a Peer Counselor or the Internship Counselor. Additionally,two resources in the Career Resource Center, Vault Top Internships, and Ferguson's Career Resource Guide, have indexes that specifically list internships available to freshmen. Please also check the CDC's compilation of Internships for Freshmen.
