The internship readiness course aims to help students put forth the strongest possible candidacy for positions. Recruiting events such as career fairs and on-campus interviews are vital to connecting with employer partners who seek to hire interns and co-ops from the School of Engineering. Networking at events and demonstrating interest in employers are keys to your success!
