Welcome to the School of Management’s Internship page. An internship is an experience in which the student learns by taking on a responsible role as a worker in an organization and by observing and reflecting on the various roles in a specific career. It supplements a student’s coursework by providing the opportunity to add practical, relevant experience and by developing a student’s skills and abilities in their chosen field of study. Internships provide abundant benefits to students, employers, and the community. When organizations are hiring, they seek out students who have participated in an internship because it shows that the student has an interest in their chosen field and will not require as much training as someone with no relevant experience.
If you would like to learn more about how an internship can enhance your educational experience and improve your marketability to employers or if you are an employer wishing to hire a student intern, please email Kimberly Uhll at kuhll@purduecal.edu or call 219-989-3150.
