LibGuides: Internship Guide: Finding an Internship

Finding an Internship

The Career Resource Center shares internship opportunities on the recruiting platform Handshake. Students are encouraged to created a free student account and begin searching there first. The site is available at https://centralpenn.joinhandshake.com/student_account_registrations/new#/email.

The Career Resource Center hosts several events on and off campus throughout the year that provide opportunities for students to meet with employers in their field of study. Students are encouraged to attend career-related events on campus as often as they can.

Students can also check general/national websites, including Internships.com and Glassdoor. Although these sites might have thousands of listings, many of those listings will be scattered across the country, so be sure to take note of where the internship is being offered before applying.

If the idea of an out-of-town internship appeals to you, there are opportunities for internships in Washington, D.C. through the Washington Internship Institute. Doing an internship through this program requires more advanced planning than some other internships. Please see the Washington Internship Institute page of this guide for details.
