The Brooklyn College Internship Program gives students an opportunity to “try on” a job for a semester while still pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree. Internships complement students’ educational experience by applying lessons learned in the classroom to the world of work.

The Internship Program helps students explore various opportunities by offering mandatory Internship and Interview Skills Workshops that improve their resumes, teach effective interviewing skills, and help them clearly focus their career goals.
