Develop Your Own Internship
When an "off the rack" internship just does not fit. This booklet offers the strategies and activities needed to research and develop your own internship position. It takes time and work but an internship that is specifically tailored to your own academic and career goals can be better than one that is "close enough."
Externships
Different from an internship, an externship allows you to get an insider's view of a career by shadowing Cal alumni in their workplaces during Winter Break! Learn more about the Career Center's Externship Program.
