Time for Students to Apply for DC Internships



As part of its commitment to provide a wide range of valuable educational experiences to our diverse students, Salt Lake Community College is proud to offer a Washington D.C. internship program.  Not only will you discover more about yourself, you’ll find an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of the operations, political process and policy development of some of the nation’s most influential organizations. 

INTERNSHIPS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

There are a lot of reasons to consider a DC Internship.  In addition to the meaningful contributions you’ll make, an internship will help you make important business contacts and kick-start your future academic and professional career.  In fact, studies show students with internship experience go on to graduate at a higher rate, are more likely to find full-time employment and start their careers with higher wages.
