What better way to land a job post-graduation then taking an internship, field experience, or experiential learning for hands-on experience in your chosen field. If you are a freshman, an internship early in your college career could help you decide what major you may want to study. Internships are a great way to build a professional network, develop skills and get valuable feedback from professionals. To help facilitate that process, Keswick offers an array of opportunities for current undergrads and graduate students who plan to go into health-related fields.
To apply for an internship, field experience or experiential learning, you will need to submit:
- Keswick Internship application
