Reason to intern #1...

2011-04-01T14:29:00.006-06:00

...Identify new skills and interests.

As we end our internship countdown, something to consider is the personal benefits of an internship. Many students feel slightly intimidated when applying for jobs after graduation. Mostly because they have never worked in their field before. When you complete an internship you not only receive an experience to put on your resume, but you also gain confidence in skills that you will use in the workplace. Some examples of skills you can gain while on your internship are:
-Interpersonal communication
-Professionalism
-Report writing
-Skills specific to your career field

Identifying new interests is also a main benefit of completing an internship. Some students even decide to change their major after completing an internship!

Reason to intern #2

2011-02-09T15:56:00.001-07:00

Decide if your major is the right career field for you.
As an intern you get to work alongside a professional in the field. You get to see what "real employees" do. This can be very helpful in determining if want to continue your education in that field or change to something else.

It's Time to Start...

2010-12-10T08:28:00.011-07:00

Well, the semester has come to a close. All we have left to do is take our finals... oh and start looking for that internship we wanted to take next semester!

Right now there are over 70 internship opportunities available on the UV Job Board. Check 'em out to see which ones fit your set of skills and would be a great learning opportunity!

Don't forget to keep an eye on the UV Job Board because the great opportunities keep flowing in. Good luck on your final exams, projects or whatever it is you've got to do in the coming week!

Internships Can Lead to Happiness

2010-11-30T08:17:00.009-07:00

There was a film released just a few years ago about a man who recognized great opportunity in an internship. This opportunity came at a great cost, both financially and emotionally. Internships are one of the best ways to get ahead, but it's often the case that the intern must make great sacrifices now for greater opportunities in the future. That's the reason why we started the Internship Scholarship Program!

The Internship Scholarship Program provides funding ranging anywhere from $200 - 1000 to provide at least some assistance in opening the door to great opportunities. If you plan to complete an internship this spring, check out our website to see if you qualify to apply for 1 of 3 different scholarships that we have available.

Even if your internship isn't paying you now, you should know that eventually you will receive more than you ever thought possible. By the way, that film mentioned earlier... it's call, "The Pursuit of Happiness." I would recommend seeing it!

Intern Testimonial

2010-06-18T09:21:00.005-06:00

Mike Cook
Congressional Intern for Congressman Chaffetz

"When presented with the opportunity to be an intern in Congressman Chaffetz office in fall of last year, I wasn’t sure how to feel. Until accepting the job I considered myself very naive in the ways of politics, and wasn’t really sure where I stood politically. I realized that for the rest of my life I will be working in management, PR, marketing, advertising, Human Resources or any other facet of business that I am interested in, so I decided creating a little political networking and experience would put a few more weapons in my arsenal and would help me to be a better citizen overall in becoming more aware of the world around me that grows more political every day."

"My internship has been an incredible road of understanding and learning. I have always been far too inexperienced in the world of politics, and this internship helped break me out of my shell."

-Mike Cook
Business Management Major

Student Testimonial

2009-11-23T13:17:00.000-07:00

Here's Nate Bagley's story:
A little over a year ago I received an internship at OrangeSoda, a local Utah internet marketing firm. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with both the “Pay Per Click” and “Search Engine Optimization” marketing strategies. I helped to manage clients and perform tasks to make sure that their internet marketing campaigns were both profitable and on schedule. Eventually, I was hired on as an employee and invited to pursue my passion in social media. I was given the job of Social Media Coordinator, and was paid to run the OrangeSoda Twitter account, as well as help form the future social media strategies of the company.

Because of this internship, I have found my passion in life and am currently starting my own consulting business to put me through the rest of school. I have made connections with some of the most renowned leaders and experts in my field and have been offered jobs and internships in many major cities, including Seattle, Toronto, and New York City.

My internship opened doors to attend conferences, such as Blog World Conference in Las Vegas, and network with incredible people. I was also awarded the "Best Use Of Twitter Award" because of my creativity and ingenuity on Twitter as a college student to network and create opportunities for myself, at the first ever Utah Social Media Awards.

Without my internship, I would never have been able to enjoy the success and opportunities I've had thus far in my life.

Many UVU students have wonderful experiences on their internships. We love when students share them with us!

Here's Mike Balser's Story:

As a Political Science student at UVU I was made aware of the different internship opportunities in Washington, DC. I jumped at the opportunity to spend a semester in Washington. I went through the application process and was offered an internship with Senator Robert Bennett in his DC office. My experience here in Washington has been incredible. In Washington, I have learned about American government and politics in a way that the campus classroom could not effectively teach. I am able to do things and see things that I have only read about in books and studied in class. This firsthand experience has been the best teacher and a priceless experience. I have the goal to run for public office sometime in my future. Being in DC has opened my eyes to the life of an elected official. It has given me insight and information that will help me to make future decisions. I feel fortunate to have the chance to spend the Semester in Washington, DC. The things I am learning will benefit the rest of my life.
