You will meet with your Placement Consultant who will talk with you to understand more about you and your career goals. You’ll work together to perfect your resume, boost your confidence through our interview workshop, and we will ensure you are ready for the workplace with our online Internship Success Toolkit and Resources. We’ll also be busy matching you to internship opportunities at one of the hundreds of our host companies and arranging interviews.
