13名杜学生获得暑期实习奖

Melissa Shambach意识到实习的重要性. But for many students like her, it is nearly impossible to take advantage of unless it is paid. Fortunately for Shambach — a freshman majoring in international studies at the University of Denver — she is one of 13 DU students who were awarded a Career Center Summer Internship Award.

Each student was awarded $2,500, which allows them to pursue an unpaid summer internship without worrying about daily expenses. For Shambach, it’s important to gain as much experience as possible in her field. She is one of four students to receive new internship funding from the Deneberg family, 哪些专门资助学生出国实习.

“I would absolutely not have been able to do an unpaid internship without this award. The price of college weighs pretty hard on my family and I could not justify dedicating my time to an unpaid internship rather than working all summer,” said Shambach, 谁将在维也纳完成为期10周的实习 Austrian Baptist Aid. “Internships are invaluable at providing undergraduates with work experience in their aspired field. 它们还能帮助学生了解雇主需要哪些技能, and show them where they have room to grow and develop before they are ready to start working in the real world.”

As part of her internship, 沙姆巴赫将致力于与叙利亚的融合和倡导, Iraqi, 在奥地利的阿富汗和伊朗难民和寻求庇护者.

根据丽贝卡·达马斯的说法 University Career Center, DU students who complete at least one internship increase their chances of finding a good job — one that pays $6,000–$10,与没有完成实习的学生相比，他们每年要多出5000美元. 学生们似乎意识到了职场培训的价值. Typically, said Damas, her office receives 20 to 30 internship applications; this year the center received 50 applications.

“Fifty percent of employers expect that students have more than one internship. 对于那些无法做出经济牺牲的学生, 这可能意味着你失去了在自己的领域获得经验的巨大机会,” Damas said. “These awards help students otherwise unable to accept unpaid opportunities to gain that critical professional experience in their field.”

For Drew Carey, 战略传播专业大三学生, the internship is an opportunity to get his foot in the door at one of his dream companies. 他将作为互动营销实习生在一家名为 The Orchard in New York City.

“Internships are important for students because [they allow] for a preview of possible job paths in the future, 以及无法在课堂上复制的真实经验,” Carey said. “This award has allowed me to be financially able to intern with [The Orchard] in New York City, 追求这个梦想，并有希望在未来追随它.”
