Internships

In the job market today it is hard for college graduates to got a job.  The key to landing a job right out of college is to have experience that other applicants may not have.  The best way to obtain this experience is through an internship.  Internships allow students to use the skills they have learned and put them to use.  For hands on learners like myself, internships can really help.  I have been researching internships and the help that is available to students at Plymouth State University.  The Bagley center is a organization on campus that helps students find an internship.  There students have an agent that helps find an internship that fits best for the student and students can earn college credits.  Other options include students finding internships on their own or doing an independent study.  Each option depends what each student is looking for.  If a student is looking for college credits they will want to go through the Bagley center or do an independent study.  If a student just wants experience they will want to find an internship on their own.

 This is a video that gives helpful advice about how to get an internship and why they are important.
