Internships are an excellent way for students to gain valuable experience in specific areas of interest. Some students arrive with years of relevant work experience; others may have had substantial experience in one field and now wish to build careers in new areas. Still others may be exploring the field for the first time. In each situation, internships are effective tools for gaining skills valued by employers. The GSLEL Career Office helps students develop internships that match their professional goals.
The GSLEL Career Service Office continuously monitors the global marketplace and utilizes its robust alumni network throughout the world to maintain up-to-date databases of internships opportunities and job openings for students and graduates. The Director of Career Services also works that students individually to develop internship opportunities which meet their career needs and interests.
