Internships Whatever your plans after graduation, an internship can be an important part of the preparation for your future career. At Wabash College, a student is 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 a student 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 a student in his 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 can also assist a student in networking with alumni in a particular field of interest. For more information about internships and the services offered at the Schroeder Career Center.
