Internships Matter

Internships are more than a resume builder—they are a powerful bridge between the classroom and the professional world. Students who complete internships are significantly more likely to graduate, secure higher-paying jobs, receive interview callbacks, and report greater career satisfaction. The Bracken Center will help you turn academic knowledge into career-ready skills through structured, high-impact experiences.
