Questions to Ask When Internship Searching
-
When searching for an internship take time to reflect on your personal, academic, and professional goals. To start narrowing down your search ask yourself the following.
Do I want to intern...
- in the winter, spring, summer, or fall?
- in Denver, abroad, or elsewhere in the US?
- in the public, private, or non-profit sector?
- and receive INTS credit for the internship?
Once you have a general idea of what you are looking for and when, review the list of organizations INTS students have interned with in the past. Also take a look at the internships highlighted for INTS students in the Breaking Ground newsletter. If you have any questions, or need assistance in your search, please contact our internship coordinator at baints@du.edu.
