Design Your Internship
Promote Your Internship
At the Walker College of Business, we prioritize experiential learning to help our students apply their classroom knowledge in real-world settings. One of the key ways we do this is by encouraging students to participate in internships. We invite employers to post paid internship opportunities on Handshake, where we can actively promote them to our students.
Internships provide both students and employers with valuable benefits. For students, they offer hands-on experience, professional networking, skill development, and enhanced employability as they begin to build their careers.
For employers, hosting interns brings fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, as well as the opportunity to develop a pipeline of talented individuals for future hiring needs.
