Information Systems Internships
Enhance your resume
Information systems is a hot career so its little wonder that internship opportunities abound for IS students. In fact, almost half of the 130+ companies attending the UW-Eau Claire's Career Conference sought IS students to work on projects during the summer or academic year.
An internship is a great way to learn more about IS, network with employers, and gain self-confidence. It may also aid your job search as many companies use an internship to pre-screen prospective employees.
Most IS internships are paid experiences with salary and benefits determined by the employer. You may work part-time while taking classes or full-time during the summer or academic year. You may receive university credits for your internship or elect to have it recorded on your university transcript as a non-credit learning experience. Internships taken for credit may be used to satisfy IS program requirements.
Because internships are so plentiful, many IS majors complete more than one internship during their college career.
