Internship Search Websites
Get Ready for the Search
An internship is any opportunity to explore career interests, gain experience, build skills, and make connections in professional fields. They can be paid or unpaid, full-time or part-time, for academic credit or not, for a specific time period. They are valuable experiences and crucial in preparing for your post-Goucher plans.
The internship search websites we've pulled together include industry-specific opportunities, diverse internship
programs as well as general search sites.

Be Aware of Scam Employers
It’s important to review all job announcements carefully, as scammers advertise jobs and internships where legitimate employers do — online, in newspapers, and even on TV and radio. Read the Federal Trade Commision's Consumer Advice on Job Scams to learn how to tell whether a job or internship lead may be a scam. Contact the CEO to discuss concerns about position announcements.
