Work experience courses are challenging work opportunities related to your major or intended career that require you to reflect and integrate your college learning in the professional world.
The skills students develop through their work experience can be significant and can give them an advantage in their career field. A quality work experience focuses on the critical skills new professionals need to be competitive in the workplace such as problem solving, critical thinking, cooperation, and leadership. Work experience opportunities may vary a lot between career fields and employers. Work experiences are based on site availability and determined by the program officials.
