An Internship is an experience referring to a partnership between students, institutions of higher education and employers that integrates academic study with work experience. Internships are of a specific and definite duration that also provides a student the opportunity to explore areas of interest. Internships are currently non-credit courses.
To inquire regarding paid or unpaid internship opportunities, please contact your Employer Relations Specialist, and post the internship on our job board at College Central Network.
Tri-C has a strong relationship with Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education (NOCHE) and encourages employers to attend Maximizing Your ROI: Return on Intern, a workshop designed to help employers who are interested in starting or enhancing their internship/co-op program. We often collaborate and offer these workshops on campus. For more information about these workshops please visit: www.noche.org.
