Internships
Internships are the best way for students to gain experience in a given field. Interns in our program do not fetch coffee or make photocopies, SIWJ interns walk away with real life experience and actual pieces for a personal portfolio. Take a look at our list of possible internship sites and check the Grow section for testimonials from students in the current program.
