Internship Programs at PVCC
Internship week was a big event for students at Piedmont Virginia Community College. They had informative meetings throughout the week from Nov. 3. to Nov. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bolick Student Center. The internship event was for students who want to learn about the internship opportunities for the spring and summer semester.
During the event, speakers Doug Fargo, Linda Andery, Tylor Davis, Mark Pother, Mathew C. Shifflett, and Alex Hollis gave information about their experience as interns and the benefits of being an intern. They were all in internships with different jobs.
Hollis started at Albemarle Baking as an intern four years ago, and with time she became a current employee. Hollis mentioned, “working as an intern is a great practice to get ready for the real world.” As for speaker Pother, he was an intern for NASA working on spaceships during the summer. He said, because he had to move to another city he had to do it over the summer, but some of his coworkers commute from their homes.
Internship opportunities are available to all students who are interested. Visit their office the Career Services in room M129. Choby mentioned that there are paid internships. Also, working as an intern helps students to earn credits and letters of recommendations for future four-year universities.
The Career Services Office welcomes any further questions; they have all types of internships like accounting, communications, digital media, graphic design, and more.
