Unlock your career potential with the Univeristy Career Services Internship Program! Gain real-world experience and invaluable industry connections. A study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that 62% of 2023 graduates completed internships—59% of which were paid, paving the way to full-time employment.
Recognizing the critical need for paid internships, especially for students juggling work and academics, the University Career Service Internship (UCSI) Program bridges the gap where unpaid opportunities fall short. If you want to get paid to boost your career prospects and network before graduation, explore the UCSI Program.
