在就业服务中心, we understand the importance of gaining professional skills through hands-on experience. That's why we encourage students to find internships in their fields of study. 实习 can often be used to gain credit toward finishing your degree. Additionally, for some programs of study, it is necessary to have an internship to graduate. 职业服务 facilitates internships through Handshake.
