Internships provide students with the opportunity to gain real-world experience while also networking with others in the industry. Students with internship experience are 35% more likely to get at least one job offer after graduating than those without internship experience (Zippia Statistics, 2022). Typically, internships are offered to students the summer before their senior year. However, some companies are flexible! Many of our 36 Corporate Partners are looking to hire SSP students - see the details below!
