Internships
Illinois Valley Community College is providing exposure to the real world of work. The knowledge and skills learned in the classroom and laboratory setting can be applied to real life situations confronting a person while working in the field. Students should take this opportunity to showcase themselves in front of people working in the employment environment. In this way, they can develop the confidence and self-assurance helpful in obtaining employment upon completion of their educational experience. The employer will be able to judge first-had if they wish to offer the intern (student) full-time employment when the student graduates from IVCC. The experience provided during the internship better prepares the student for the college courses remaining in the student’s program of study by giving relevancy and meaning to the knowledge and skills taught in the classroom.
