Internship Program Preps Students for Professional Success

“What is your dream job?” “What accomplishment are you most proud of?”

These were among the questions Tech students asked each other during yesterday’s interviewing skills workshop. The students are participating in the school’s popular internship program that has helped juniors gain professional experience at engineering and STEM-based organizations like JPL, The Boeing Company, the Griffith Company, and Kaiser Permanente.

The Tech's program guides candidates through invaluable job prep exercises like resume building, workplace etiquette, and effective networking skills. Several successful interns have had the great opportunity to continue to work with their company throughout their university years.
