How do MBT students gain work experience before graduation?
The program can help degree candidates who want to gain experience while pursuing their education find full-time or part-time employment. Most students enter the program already with full-time jobs. Many of the 10 – 15% of MBT students who initially enroll full time secure work experience while finishing their degree because of the strong demand in the Twin Cities for temporary employment, particularly during the early spring term. Degree candidates and alumni may also refer to the MBT employment services section of our site, which lists part-time and full-time internships and permanent tax-related positions. Degree candidates may also use the Business Career Center, which schedules on-campus interviews with a variety of firms and companies. In addition, students often make employment contacts through classmates.
