Interested in earning college credit for working at a current job? Interested in applying for a job that will provide experience in a specific career field, while earning college credit and a few extra bucks? If so, contact Nancy Hutchison, director of the co-op and career service center, in room 106 of Grace Hall today.

According to Hutchison it’s “a wonderful opportunity to get real life experience.”

Applying for a spring ’05 internship or co-op is as easy as completing a few simple steps.

First, go to Grace Hall, rm. 106 and complete an application. Next, complete a resume and have an adviser sign it. Also, a student must maintain a 2.0 GPA. Once the application for the internship and steps mentioned above are completed, a student may search the database and choose a job.

Hutchison suggests applying before the beginning of the spring semester so that one can coordinate his or her class schedule leaving at least two to three days per week open for work. Also, one is advised to apply only for two to three jobs at one time so that he or she is not overwhelmed with more interviews than one can handle.

Hutchison said students will be “applying their learning to the workplace. It’s a very valuable and successful experience.”

There are many options available that one should consider before taking part in an internship. First of all, one may work for a profit or non-profit
