Internships
Real-World Experiences to Enhance Your Resume
Internships not only enrich your academic journey, but also allow you to immerse yourself in the day-to-day life of your field prior to entering the workforce. These short-term work experiences help you identify the careers and industries that best fit your distinctive talents and goals, while making you a more competitive applicant in the job market. You can even submit an application to earn academic credit for your internship experience.
Finding and Securing Opportunities
You can intern during the academic year or during your winter or summer breaks. Our Center for Career and Professional Development will help you discover and secure these positions, guiding you through the internship search, application, and interview processes, and facilitating connections with F&M alumni, parents and friends of the College for potential opportunities. Through F&M, you’ll also have access to the True Blue Network, a career network platform exclusive to the F&M community. Here, you can connect with alumni and parents who have volunteered to support student F&M student success beyond the classroom.
A Day in the Life as an Intern
Summer Experience Funds
Your advisers can also direct you to generous donor funding that can help offset the financial burden of an unpaid or underpaid summer experience. These funds empower you to seek a wide variety of opportunities, giving you flexibility to choose internships that typically are unpaid or minimally paid.
