I hit the ground running at this internship (Clarke University Business Office). From day one I was knee deep in accounts payable and financial data. This real world learning is definitely readying me for my professional future.
I interned at Unified Therapy Services as a rehab assistant and it was the coolest! I get to see the kids’ happy faces all day long. I love observing the pediatric side of physical, occupational and speech therapy.
The Career Services office matched me with Dubuque’s National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium as a water quality specialist. This job perfectly compliments my major, and I love ensuring that the different animals have safe water quality in their environment.
The best part of this position at the Dubuque County Courthouse is the hands-on training. I’ve helped set up computers and systems for the City of Dubuque, the Dubuque Police Department, Sunnycrest Manor and the Dubuque County Highway Department.
I interned with the Dubuque Fighting Saints in sales and promotions and I loved the flurry of behind-the-scenes activities at events. Everything from organizing autograph sessions to hands-on work at a promotional party has given me invaluable real-life work experience.
I would encourage any student to participate in the Internship for Credit Program at Clarke. The Internship for Credit Program is all about the experience and being able to transfer what you learn from internship into the classroom and towards your future.
