Internships in Landscape Architecture
Internships are real-world work experiences in which students take on temporary roles in organizations in order to:
- apply academic knowledge to a work setting,
- solidify a career choice,
- develop professional contacts, and,
- gain experience in a field of interest to make you more marketable.
Completing an internship is the single best way to research and prepare for a career. The experience gained through an internship is invaluable in the current job market. A recent survey by NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) revealed that 79% of employers currently offer internships, 87% of new graduates with jobs have internship or internship-related experience on their resumes, and the average employer hires approximately 1/3 of their interns for full-time positions upon graduation.
ESF's Internship Program assists students with every stage of the internship process. From planning the preferred semester to pursue an internship, to researching internship options, to outlining the process, and how to make the most of an internship experience, you will find every piece of the internship puzzle here!
