Reason to intern #1...

...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!

Win $50 for sharing your Internship Story

UVU Internship Services is holding a contest for students who have completed an internship in the last year. We are giving away five $50 awards to students who have the best written testimonial, photograph, career building internship, etc.


Visit our website to see details
Entry deadline is April 8th, 2011.

Reason to intern #2

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...

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!

Now is a great time to find an internship! Many businesses are looking to hire for the new year while others are planning ahead for those summer months when you might choose to take a break from your classes.

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

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!

Reason to intern #3

Work alongside a professional.
