INTERNSHIP REPORTInternships/Co-op, Student Teaching and Experiential Education

Gaining pre-professional experience prior to graduation is important to be successful in securing a full-time job. In 2014-2015, 74% of UNI graduates reported they completed internships, student teaching or experiential education prior to graduation.

Students locate these opportunities in a variety of ways—attending our 2 Job & Internship Fairs each year, applying to over 900 postings on the UNI Job & Internship Board, networking with employers through student organizations and making their own arrangements. Whichever method works best, Career Services encourages students to obtain 2 or more pre-professional experiences during their time at UNI.

UNI Career Services, along with a number of academic departments recognize internships and pre-profesional work by allowing students to enroll in academic credit or a transcript notation. 1,355 students registered their pre-professional experiences in 2014-2015. � e data below is gathered from those pre-professional experiences.
