Career & Internship Resources

Internships

Internships are a valuable way for TUNE students to gain real-world experience, explore career interests and build professional skills while still in school. Whether you’re just beginning to think about your future or preparing to enter your field, internships can help you apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to meaningful, hands-on work.

The Career Center offers a robust amount of information about internships on their website. From exploring different internship options to getting ready to interview - make sure you do your research before you begin the search.
