Students must sign up and complete an approved internship experience for academic credit at GC. These may be supported by the academic department or may be secured with assistance from GC’s Career Center. The Career Center advises students to begin their internship search at least 4 – 6 months before their desired start date. The Career Center uses Handshake to promote local, regional, and national internship opportunities to students.
