Since 1977, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµs University has partnered with hundreds of companies, organizations, and agencies in the New York Metro Area to offer internships and co-op opportunities to more than 5000 students. With a network of 30,000 alumni in nearly every industry imaginable, we have built an effective internship program that provides our students with \u201creal world\u201d experience and skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you know\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nOur Jersey City campus is right in the middle of one of the world&#8217;s largest employer bases? Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ&#8217;s students can choose from internships in New York City, Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City, and other parts of New Jersey.<\/p>\n<h3>Why should I do an internship?<\/h3>\n<p><span>Internships are critical to developing a competitive edge in the job market. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), 91% of employers surveyed said that work experience is a major factor in their hiring decisions and 56% said that\u00a0 internships are the preferred method for obtaining experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Partner with CEEL to get started on an internship that sets you apart from the competition! Here are additional benefits you can get through an internship:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Earn Academic Credit<\/strong> \u2013 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ&#8217;s offers up to nine academic credits through supervised internship experiences, part-time and seasonal jobs. To see if you&#8217;re eligible to earn academic credit, please contact Sondra Riley at <a href=\"mailto:sriley@saintpeters.edu\">sriley@saintpeters.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexible Work Schedule<\/strong> \u2013 Students have the option to work full or part-time year round or during summer\/winter breaks. The choice is up to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Experience that Pays<\/strong> \u2013 Many internships offer a stipend or hourly wage. The average internship\/co-op earnings for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ&#8217;s students is $12,000\/year, with some earning even more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On-the-Job Training<\/strong> \u2013 Develop valuable professional experience related to your major field of study and\/or career interests!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employment Opportunities<\/strong> \u2013 Some students transition their internship\/co-op experience into a full-time position after graduation. Others find it much easier competing for jobs and negotiating higher salaries because of their internship\/co-op experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Explore Different Options<\/strong> \u2013 If you are uncertain about your major or career path we can\u2019t imagine a better way to figure things out! See what it&#8217;s like to work in your field of study prior to graduation. You may discover that your major is not the right one for you. If that happens, you still have time to choose a different major and\/or explore other career options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"one column\"><a href=\"tel:2017616400\"><i class=\"fa fa-mobile fa-3x\"><\/i><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"eleven columns\">\n<p><strong>Make an appointment\u00a0with CEEL for an internship consultation<\/strong><br \/>\nDrop by our office or call <a href=\"tel:2017616400\">(201) 761-6400<\/a>\u00a0to schedule a one-on-one internship session with a career adviser<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1028 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/hs-logo-primary-lg.png\" alt=\"handshake logo\" width=\"610\" height=\"98\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/hs-logo-primary-lg.png 610w, https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/hs-logo-primary-lg-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/hs-logo-primary-lg-120x19.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"one column\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saintpeters.joinhandshake.com\/login\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/saintpeters.joinhandshake.com\/login\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/hs-social-icon-blue.png\" width=\"57\" height=\"57\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"handshake icon\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"eleven columns\">\n<p><strong>Check out job postings\u00a0on <a href=\"https:\/\/saintpeters.joinhandshake.com\/login\">Handshake<\/a>.<\/strong><br \/>\nHandshake is exclusively for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ&#8217;s University students and alumni. <a href=\"https:\/\/saintpeters.joinhandshake.com\/login\">Create a profile<\/a> to see job postings for full-time positions, summer work and seasonal jobs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>For assistance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download the <i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf-o\" style=\"color: #0072ce;\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/Handshake-Student-Activation-How-To-Login-Your-Account-Oct-2-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Login to Your Handshake Account Guide (PDF)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Download the <i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf-o\" style=\"color: #0072ce;\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs.dir\/112\/files\/2012\/07\/How-to-Build-Your-Handshake-Profile-Student-October-2-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Build Your Handshake Profile Guide (PDF)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Contact <a href=\"https:\/\/support.joinhandshake.com\/hc\/en-us\/categories\/202707307-Employer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Handshake technical support<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/academics\/programs-services\/trex-program\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2019\/11\/trex-logo-clear.png\" alt=\"Transformative Experiences (TREX) Program\" width=\"200\" height=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13141\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/academics\/programs-services\/trex-program\/\">The Transformative Experiences (TREX) Program<\/a><\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>is an opportunity for students in STEM majors (Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics) to engage in a paid internship program that also counts for academic credit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Translate Your Dreams into Reality Get your foot in the door and land that dream job!
