Students are free to seek out and arrange their own internships. Recently, several companies have used internship programs as a recruitment tool, taking on students for internships with an eye on perhaps employing them officially following graduation. These programs are called 'Employment-related Internships'. Students choosing an Independently-arranged type Internship will have to submit an "Internship Notification Form," so please contact the Career office with your intentions prior to making any applications.
How to Look for an Independently-arranged type Internship Program
Many companies have information about their internship programs online. However, certain companies and organizations may not have any information online in which case you will have to approach them directly. Several organizations coordinate internship programs for companies and are a great resource for information. Please check 'Useful Internship Websites'. Similar information is also available at the Career Office; please refer to “Internship Information” on Campusmate web.
