Internship & Placement Report

The LAEP Careers Placement Program continues to provide critical opportunities and experiences for our students. The charts shown here summarize the 2019 Spring Placement Survey, which was distributed to all students enrolled in the 2018-2019 school year. The charts illustrate student placement and type of employment of our 2019, 2020, and 2021 classes.

Thanks to many alumni and friends, 42 students were placed in internships and full-time jobs. Nearly half of those placements were hired by our alumni and represent 9 US states, Canada and Slovenia. We work diligently to prepare students for the workforce and are so grateful for the connections we have maintained over the years. Thank you, alumni, for your commitment to the department and our students. If you are interested in ways to support or hire our students, please send an email to tanya.rice@usu.edu.

Student Experiences

“My internship this summer has provided me with both the technical experience needed in the design-build profession and a leadership role in working with other interns. My team and I have gained hands-on experience in design layout and refinement during the building stages. I have had the opportunity to work very closely with the client and have improved my presentation skills.” - Travis Lindberg

“Working as a student intern for an LA firm last summer and currently with a public agency this summer, has given me great insight to the variety of practice types in our profession. The experience I am gaining is helping me to focus my interests for the future. This summer I have participated in several community out reach events, giving me new insight on how important communication is in how we express our designs to local communities.” - Madison Pong
