Second-year Transformational Experience Program

Internship

The internship category is designed to give students the opportunity to gain key skills which help prepare them for professional endeavors after their time at Ohio State. Successful internship experiences allow students to gain insights into possible career fields and opportunities, which can help to clarify academic interests. The internship project is meant to assist students in determining or narrowing their career focus while allowing them to gain workplace skills, increase their knowledge of a particular career field and expand their professional network. Explore project examples and reflections.
