Overview

Did you know that having an internship increases your chances of having a job at graduation? USF Muma College of Business leadership, faculty, and staff tell you more about the importance of internships in this video.

Everyone wins with internship programs. Employers are able to boost workplace productivity and students are able to strengthen business skills. Students gain real-life experiences, learn new programs, and experience life in a professional workplace. Employers gain temporary help from fresh and eager aspiring business leaders.
