Learn While You Earn

  • Gain practical work experience in your major
  • Explore and expand your skills
  • Develop interpersonal and communication skills
  • Make valuable professional contacts

The SJSU Career Center offers a variety of services that will help you research, identify, and connect with employers during your search for the right internship or co-op opportunity. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to effectively prepare and plan an effective internship search campaign.

until it is experienced."
