Internships

Internships provide students with an opportunity to integrate classroom studies with the world of work and learn important job skills while pursuing a college degree. Our internship program helps connect students with potential employers while allowing employers the opportunity to see how well-qualified our students are!

Internships benefit both students & employers

Internships are a partnership between student, employers, and Terra State Community College that formally integrates the student’s academic study with work or real-world experience.

Each partner has the following responsibilities in this venture:
