If You Struggle With Finding an Internship, Read This

Before we start our adventure: feeling lucky to be here!

Internships are work experiences that provide students with practical skills and valuable knowledge in a specific industry or area of study. As one of the largest public institution in this country, Indiana University (IU) has plenty of resources available to help students fulfill their career aspirations.

Study in our “Climbing Center”: IU Career Development Center (CDC):

Schedule your first Career Advising Appointment in the Career Development Center (CDC) during your first semester at IU. During your first visit, your career advisor will make an informational interview to learn much more about you. With the help from your advisor, you will be able to develop a strategic plan to figure out what is your future career goal after graduation, and what steps you need to take to achieve that.
