Internships

Broward College defines an internship as any short-term, supervised work experience. The internship should provide students with a meaningful opportunity to explore careers in their academic pathway. The College facilitates several types including micro-internships, general non-credit internships, and internships associated with a course that allows students to earn 3-credit hours.

Paid Internship

Students can search for paid internships that are not tied to a faculty-supervised course by logging into Handshake and searching for internship opportunities. In this platform, students can quickly and easily search internship postings and connect with employers looking to fill qualified positions.

Micro-Internship

Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional projects that are open to all college students and recent graduates. From working directly with an entrepreneur to supporting a large enterprise, you'll have the opportunity to explore different roles and company cultures in a way that fits into your schedule. These projects allow you to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build your networks as you seek the right full-time role.
