Real Talk on Internships, Part 1: Larger Firms
Internship application processes and experiences vary widely. Hear directly from those who oversee Internship Programs at larger firms. Here are some questions that the moderators will ask.
- How can students find out about internships? Are there internships that aren’t publicly advertised?
- How many openings are available?
- What are the eligibility criteria?
- What kind of experiences can students expect during the internship?
- Can an internship be transitioned into a full time position?
A follow up Real Talk event will feature smaller firms.
