Why do an internship?


Internships can help you:

  • Learn first hand about a career field.
  • Make decisions about your future.
  • Gain confidence in yourself as a valued member of a work environment
  • Expand your view of the world.
  • Gain contacts and recommendations.
  • Receive job or grad school offers.

An internship gives you the chance to get to know a career field without making a long-term commitment.

We encourage you to take a risk, challenge yourself and expand your view of the world. As one Smith alumna put it, “Don’t limit yourself – go after your dream internship because it can certainly happen!”

Think about what you’d like to gain from an internship. What are your goals?
