Finding Your Internship Fit

About Internship Services

An internship is an opportunity for a student to go to a place of business, work in a professional setting and apply the skills and the knowledge acquired through QC classwork.

Internships combine hands-on work experience with classroom learning, provide access to unique, professional opportunities and offer real job experience.

Apply Classroom Theory

An internship is a chance to see what you have learned in the classroom that relates to the world of work, how the concepts you have read about in textbooks are used in practice, and what theories, ideas, or concepts might be applied in your career area.

Skill Development

Together with your professor and the QC Internship Coordinator you will identify new skills you hope to learn during an internship. Some skills will relate directly to your focus of study. You will also have the chance to develop other transferable skills, including operating office or computer equipment, handling a variety of situations simultaneously, organizing or analyzing data, records, or budgets, and improving teamwork, writing, and speaking abilities.

Personal Development

On the job you will gain experience with managing pressure, work relationships and different leadership styles. You will have the opportunity to identify your work style preferences, productive work habits and strengthen your written and verbal communication skills.

Student Success Stories

“{Quincy College}…was instrumental in the process of my obtaining the internship. She reached out to the attorney and based on her conversations with her, determined that I would be a good fit for this position. After speaking with the attorney on the phone, I had an informative interview with her, and by the end we were both excited for me to start.”

“I think my hiring process was fairly smooth I had my interview and got the internship right after.”

“I find it easy to manage my workload when I am at my internship. I am usually given multiple tasks at once. I usually do each task one by one so I don’t begin to feel overwhelmed. There isn’t any real preparation I do for challenges besides just face them head on and do my best.”

“I am excited to finally be putting my hard work into practice. I have learned how to complete the accounting cycle in class. In my internship I am putting what I’ve learned into practice.”

“When reflecting back on the hiring process, I think it went well because their mission statement matched my passion and desire and I had already did research on the company and learned about the different services they offered there”

“I am extremely excited to begin case management and get to know these patients individually along with their personal stories so I can brainstorm and formulate the best plan and course of action in effectively treating each patient as they all will have different needs and approaches. I feel the knowledge obtained thus far from Quincy College will help me immensely and allow me to put my acquired skills and passion to use.”
