When Is the Best Time To Begin Planning An Internship?
Students should consider planning their internship as soon as possible, but no later than the beginning of the semester proceeding the semester in which one plans to do the internship. For example, students planning an internship for spring semester should begin planning no later than early fall semester of that academic year. Assessing one’s goals and objectives, researching internship sites, contacting and interviewing with potential internship employers, developing a resume’ and interviewing skills, consulting with career center staff, and faculty and creating an internship contract takes time.
