<Title>Unlocking Career Growth</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p>By Anasia Mickle</p>
    <p><span>Internships are like stepping stones for career growth. They give students real-world experience, help them learn practical skills, and build professional connections. Let's dive into why internships are so important for shaping careers and how teachers can help students make the most of them.</span></p>
    <p><span>A Teacher's Perspective-</span></p>
    <p><span>Dr. Snyder says, "Internships give you experience, they give you a network contact, multiple network contacts. You can use that internship experience to make some, and build upon network connections, which are extremely valuable for when you do go on your job search." Teachers like Dr. Snyder don't only teach in the classroom; they also help students find internships by giving them advice on where to look, by sending internship opportunities through mass emails, or teaching classes on how to improve their resumes and cover letters, and how to prepare for interviews. Throughout the internship search teachers offer support and feedback, guiding students through challenges and celebrating their successes.</span></p>
    <p><span>Student Experiences - </span></p>
    <p><span>Melanie says internships are important so, “Get to know your professors well and don’t be afraid to ask them for advice because it may lead you down the perfect road to find your passion.” She was a communications intern for our own Retriever athletics program!</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Scherrie was accepted to intern for UMBC Interdisciplinary CoLab: </span><span>FindingBlackGirhood: A Digital Archive</span><span>. Throughout her internship she will work with a team to create and present a beta version of the site that will contribute to creating an innovative archive of freedom. The website will include an Introduction that considers the intersections of Black girlhood and film, film descriptions, and analytical essays on each film. She says, Through internships, “I’m allowing my passion to grow and as I learn”</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>Finding the Right Fit: Tips for Students</span></p>
    <p><span>If you're looking for an internship, here are some tips:</span></p>
    <ol>
    <li><p><span>Start Early: Don't wait until the last minute. Start looking and applying for internships early.</span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Use Resources: Talk to your teachers, use career services, and go to networking events to find the right internship for you.</span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Customize Applications: Make sure your resume and cover letter fit each internship you apply for. Show how your skills and goals match exactly what they're looking for.</span></p></li>
    </ol>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>Internships are like bridges that connect students to their future careers. They help students grow personally and professionally, giving them a taste of what's to come. With support from teachers and peers, students can make the most of their internship experiences and set themselves up for success in their careers.</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span> If you need more help, check out these resources:</span></p>
    <ol>
    <li><p><span>Career Center:</span><span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://careers.umbc.edu/</a></span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>MCS Internship website: </span><span><a href="https://mcs.umbc.edu/internships/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://mcs.umbc.edu/internships/</a></span></p></li>

    </ol>
