Internships Making a Way

Internships provide on-the-job learning where students apply the technology skills and terminology of their field and learn how to adapt to a professional culture. An internship builds valuable work experience to help our students stand out in a competitive job market. COB and GSU’s Career Services provide many resources and support for students who seek an internship during their study.
