Following are samples of internship Web sites.  Finding an internship on one of these Web sites does not mean that it is approved as a Metropolitan State internship for academic credit.  You must complete the university's internship approval process before the internship is officially approved. 

Other Resources:  

  • Surf the Web: Use Google or Yahoo or another search engine to look for specific internship opportunities.  Search by key words, companies, etc.
  • Catalyst: The bi-monthly newsletter.  Available on-line at www.metrostate.edu/catalyst.  Find the "Internship Opportunities" section of the newsletter.  Contact the Internship Office at cbl.center@metrostate.edu or 651-793-1285 to request a complete description of any of the internship opportunities.
  • Campus resource areas: Metropolitan State provisionally approved internship opportunities are posted on Career Link: www.metrostate.edu/career Resources are also available in the Center for Community-Based Learning, 651-793-1285.
  • On your own: Are you interested in completing an internship in a particular company, organization or agency? Call their general information number and ask to speak to the person responsible for internships.  Identify yourself as a Metropolitan State student and tell them you are interested in the possibility of doing an internship at their company/organization/agency.  They will let you know the application process.
  • Talk with people who have done internships: Friends, co-workers and other students can be good resources
  • Network: register for/attend Career Fairs, Job Fairs, etc. that are advertised in the Twin Cities area (check the Catalyst, The Metropolitan, and/or Twin Cities newspapers for dates, times and locations) throughout the year.

In the Career Workbook, students have a single repository to document their career thinking, reflections, and aspirations.
