For over the past 30 years, the Communication Department at Worcester State University has been offering a successful internship program to assist students with their professional advancement.  Each year, the department sponsors an internship fair featuring area businesses and non-profit organizations that are recruiting student interns for a variety of communication related areas.

 

On Thursday October 21^st from 12-2PM in the North / South Auditorium of the Student Center, the Communication Department will host its Annual Internship Fair for students at Worcester State University.  Businesses and non-profit organizations will be on site to recruit energetic and skilled students trained in TV/video production, Advertising/PR, Photography, and other communication skills.

Students in their junior and senior year who have a GPA of 2.7 or higher are eligible to earn academic credit for their internship experience, thereby helping them advance in their studies while developing professional experience.

 

In a competitive employment market, students with internship experience are better poised to develop the necessary skills and networks for professional employment and advancement.  Internships assist students by providing experiences and knowledge in a variety of areas of interest that can lead to viable career paths, and help them develop the confidence they need to secure their first job or graduate school opportunity.
