The right internship gives college students an opportunity to apply classroom knowledge, develop professional skills, explore a possible career, build a network, and demonstrate their value to a prospective employer.
But finding and completing a worthwhile internship requires preparation. Students must know where to look, how to approach employers, how to evaluate an opportunity, and how to make the most of the experience once it begins.
Drawing on nearly four decades as a college professor and many years directing a business internship program, Michael P. Griffin provides practical guidance for every stage of the internship process. He explains how students can identify meaningful opportunities, prepare strong application materials, use LinkedIn and artificial intelligence responsibly, establish internship goals, work effectively with supervisors, document their learning, and conclude the experience professionally.

Business Internships is written primarily for college students, but it will also be valuable to faculty members, career advisers, parents, and employers who want to create high-quality internship experiences.
