The goal of the internship program at ASU Mid-South is to provide the student with on-the-job experiences supervised by successful, experienced professionals. The on-the job training will directly support the development of the student’s technical skills, knowledge and career path, while allowing classroom learning to be translated into on-the-job practice. Students enhance their knowledge, skills, and attitudes by participating in supervised experiences that are not possible to replicate in an educational setting.
The type of internship students participate in can vary. Some courses require an internship for completion, or students may simply opt to do an internship for the benefits of networking and career readiness.
