HERE IS WHAT OUR BUSINESS STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES...
Internships are a vital part of the overall success that a student will have upon graduation. Especially in business, seeing how a real world business operates in a day to day setting is of utmost importance. The Business Career Programs office makes it so easy to find the perfect internship for each student, and they set each one up for success!

Internships are a great way to get real-world work experience. They also provide you with an opportunity to take a closer look at a company and evaluate it for a potential full-time job. Business Career Programs is a great place to start when beginning an internship search.

My internship search was actually not very difficult. It was a combination of taking advantage of the resources the University provides as well as being persistent on finding an internship with a good company. This internship was beneficial and I recommend it to any individual that has a good sales foundation. I believe this internship compliments my already established sales experience and refines the Universities sales skills they have already shown me. Overall this was a great experience.

Business Career Programs played a big role in the process of me getting started at my internship at the Toledo Zoo. Terribeth Gordon-Moore forwarded an email to me when the position of an HR Assistant internship opened up at the Toledo Zoo. As soon as I read the email, I applied. My internship with the Toledo Zoo has been very rewarding. I currently am working with the Recruiting Manager and I absolutely love it. I think it is a great experience and would recommend any student to take advantage of an internship. It’s nice to be able to work closely to others in the HR department at the Zoo and see exactly what their job responsibilities are.

This internship is a blessing for me. I truly enjoy the work I am doing at SSOE Inc. The HR team values my input and trusts the work I produce. I would recommend this company to any student looking for an internship. The Business Career Programs office sent out an email letting me know that this internship was available. If I would not have received that email, I would not have been able to embrace this great opportunity.

The benefits of internships to students is that they get a hands on learning experience where they actually get to try the career and observe first hand all parts of it instead of just hearing about it. Taking part in and observing the day to day tasks and interacting with colleagues and clients benefited me more than just reading about how my chosen career might be when I get out of school. Business Career Programs assisted me in the search for an internship by emailing me about available internships. Terribeth Gordon-Moore made me aware of the internship I selected through email.

The benefits of internships for students are tremendous. Internships help you decide if your major is the right career path for you. It also helps you gain experience which will help a student out when they graduate and try to find another job. The University’s program in helping students find an internship is excellent. I especially enjoy the job opportunities that Terribeth Gordon-Moore sends through e-mails, that is how I got my job at Ed Schmidt.

This internship has been very beneficial to my career. It has everything to do with my major so I am learning so much here. In fact, it has started my career because I was hired!
-Rebecca, August 2009 Graduate

Internships are very beneficial to students because they give the opportunity to apply what is learned in the classroom to an actual job, and provide even more great work experience. That same experience is very valuable to gaining knowledge of what to do and expect from a career. The Business Career Programs was the reason I found my current internship. I met with the company both at the February 2008 Job Fair, and a month later at the Networking Night. Without the job fair, I would not have known this company existed, and without the networking night, I would have not been able to meet with the company again and make a lasting impression.

Internships will benefit you because it not only gives you the experience of actually working in your field, but it shows you exactly what it is like to be taking your education and putting it to use. The Business Career Programs really helped me because without the job fair, I believe that I would not have found this internship and would not have gained the experience of working in my field of study.

Internships provide a great benefit for students who choose to obtain one. My position at the athletic department has helped my cold calling skills tremendously. I have been holding out to the last minute because I was waiting for something to catch my eye and sound fun and exciting. Your program emailed me and I jumped right on this internship and got it. Thank you Business Career Programs!
