INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Student’s Resources
The Coker Career Center facilitates internships for academic credit for all majors, excluding Education. To see if your major is eligible for internship credit through the Center, please contact our office at cobracareers@coker.edu.
We are here to help you every step of the way – so keep us in the loop while you are at your internship. We will check in with you officially at the midpoint and end of your internship, but are here for you to answer questions, help sort out work conflicts, assist with difficult conversations, help you find additional work training, etc. Just let us know how we can help your internship experience be even better! We will also be in touch with your supervisor at the beginning, middle and end of your internship experience. So make sure you keep us up to date if contact information changes for you or your direct supervisor. We look forward to working with you!
