SOJC Internship Information
An internship is one of the most important activities you can do while you are in school. You need to start searching for a summer internship early in fall term. Some deadlines are in November or December. You should meet with the Career Services Coordinator during your sophomore year to start preparing for your internship Search.
Each week the Career Services office sends out the SOJC Internship News by email with internship opportunities. All students should be subscribed to this listserv. You will only receive 3-4 emails a week from this listserv.
