An internship is an invaluable way to get experience in your field before you look for a job after graduation. There are plenty of internships available if you know where to look and if you are willing to do some research. The lists below will get you started. They are just a sampling of what is available. Be creative in your research. You may also want to contact the Business Librarian at our library at Purdue Calumet who can help you with additional research.
We will also post local internships as we hear about them. Click HERE for more information.
