Cool Internships Week 2: FBI & Boeing

Welcome back to what I hope to be an exciting new school year. It's not too early to start thinking about internships as some organizations have upcoming deadlines for summer 2008 already.  Internships are an effective way to connect your academic experience with the professional world of work. Internships allow you to gain valuable exposure to the workplace, provide opportunity for skill development, and give you a competitive edge in the job search. A study conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) found that employers extended job offers to more than 70 percent of their interns.
 
The Career Center's UO-JobLink gives students and alumni the opportunity to search for full-time, part-time, internship and summer jobs, both on and off campus. Below is a sample of internships that have recently arrived at the UO Career Center.  Search internships by KEYWORD and get detailed information at UO-JobLink .
