“Interning for PNC Financial Services the summer before my senior year was possibly one of the best decision I have ever made. I learned and experienced first hand the roles of the Business Analyst and a Project Manager in a corporate setting, which has helped me decide the path that I need take after graduation. I believe that networking with people that had the same goals as me has immensely helped me in my professional growth.”

What are the benefits of participating in an internship, co-op, service-learning or research experience?

One of the main benefits of choosing to spend the summer participating in an internship is that it really exposes you to a real life career. You are able to experience first hand something that you may possibly want to do for the rest of your life.
