Real World Experience: Internships @ PCCC:
Business and Technology
“The need for internships was something I saw personally one day,” said Professor Eric Cameron of the Computer Information Sciences Department, recalling the time he saw a PCCC grad working as a convenience store cashier two years after graduating.
“He said that job was the best he could find…and he was saving money to transfer to a four-year school… He was a solid student (3.6 GPA). I knew this was not an issue of ability, but an issue of not knowing how to get into the work force.”
Professor Marshall Saunders, a Business Administration professor who also coordinates the department’s new accounting internship program said, “Internships give students the opportunity to:
- Gain on-the-job experience that can be crucial in future job hunting
- Discover whether they actually like their chosen career field
- Get a foot in the door of a potential employer
- Start developing a network of contacts
Internships Really Work!
