Career Development Center
 
Finding an Internship

At Occidental College, students are not simply placed in internships.  Instead, it is the student's responsibility to research options and find a suitable site.  However, there are several Career Development Center resources that provide a great place to start your search for an internship. Subscribe and get in the habit of reading the CDC Weekly, use TIGERlink, talk to faculty members, and be willing to do research in the library and the Internet. 

Resources 

  • TIGERlink has thousands of national internship opportunities that are specifically targeted to our campus as well as those of peer institutions who are members of the National Internship Consortium (NIC).  To learn how to use this search tool, view the following Guide.
  • There are internship Directories in the Career Resource Library, Section 40 and Internet web sites.
  • Alumni Sharing Knowledge Network, is an alumni database available through an online directory, where you can search for alumni in career fields or geographic locations in which you are interested. 

Once you find an internship, we strongly suggest that you review this page How to Be A Good Intern.

If you need housing while you do your internship, check out Internhousing.com.  If you are doing an internship in DC, check out InternsDC.com.
