As you go about your college search, you are likely looking for a college that will prepare you for your career. Increasingly, career-related experience is a job requirement, not simply an expectation. It is more important than ever for college students to gain hands-on experience and build a professional network.
That’s why, at Meredith, internships are a part of the educational experience. Most of our students complete at least one internship and many complete more. Furthermore, our ideal location in Raleigh means students are near several employers in the Triangle – employers who know our strong reputation.
In today’s blog, we share some of the great internship opportunities our students have recently earned.
