Washington Internship Seminar
I attended a seminar for the Washington Internships that the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey offers. The internships are run through the Washington Center, a well –known internship organization. Stockton has sent the most students out of any college in the country, which lands our students a discount of 2,500 dollars!
The internships are mainly in the summer in the metropolitan area among various organizations. An intern can work for a non-profit organization or a government organization such as the C.I.A. It all depends on the student’s taste. There are also study abroad internships in places such as Paris, France and Sydney, Australia.
Internships are a great idea for a college student. Students get work-experience they would not be able to get inside the classroom. This experience is crucial when applying for a job after college. The organizations students intern for can make an awesome reference for their job resume. Also, college students can find jobs related to their majors and see if they like what they are studying in a real world situation.
To pay for an internship is no different than paying for tuition and housing here at Stockton. It works exactly the same way, which is extremely easy for a student. An internship seems like a super smart idea for a student who wants a step ahead when applying for a job. Seems like I’m going to have to check out which ones I’m interested in!
