Whatever a student’s plans after graduation, an internship can be an important part of the preparation for a future career. At Wabash College, students are encouraged to participate in an internship. An internship is a short-term (usually summer) monitored work or service experience intended to integrate the student’s classroom and laboratory experiences with those in the professional workplace. Because it is intrinsically educational, an internship should provide the student with learning goals, a supervisor/mentor, and a means of reflection and evaluation. Both the employer/organization and the student benefit from an internship experience.
The Schroeder Career Center staff serves as a resource to help students prepare for and access internship opportunities. The SCC offers workshops and individual appointments as a means to assist students in preparing for an internship. The SCC also offers a variety of media materials in the Resource Room that can assist students in their preparation steps or internship search process. Wabash students are also able to access WabashWorks!, a recruiting management system that lists internship and full-time opportunities. In addition, the staff also assists students in networking with alumni in a particular field of interest.
