Internships at LLCC: A Pathway to real-world experience

An internship is an opportunity to explore your interests and gain hands-on experience in your field in a structured short-term work experience that is typically eight to 16 weeks long. Its purpose is to provide a student with hands-on training and exposure to a specific industry or profession.

What is an internship? 

Internships allow you to explore your interests while gaining practical experience in your field. You work with professionals who will have first-hand knowledge of your skills. An onsite supervisor will mentor and support you during your internship. While an internship is no guarantee that you will be hired once your internship has ended, it’s a great opportunity to gain valuable experience and could very well lead to a full-time position!
