Connect with IU Kokomo Students Through our Cougar Career Experience Externship
At IU Kokomo, we give students real-world experiences to explore career options and connect with IU Alumni. Each year during spring break, a small group of juniors and seniors set out to see the real world for themselves with the Cougar Career Experience Externship! Are you a proud IU Alum? Do you wish you could have explored career options before graduating? Now is your turn to support your alma mater and our future alumni. Consider getting involved with this transformational externship experience by hosting IU Kokomo students at your workplace. You will get the chance to share your insights into the professional world!
What an amazing experience! The participants in the externship program were engaged, well-spoken and gracious. I thoroughly enjoyed all of my interaction with the students, from the welcome reception to the interviewing/job search/resume session. I can’t wait to see how the externship program impacts these student’s lives.
An internship can be very beneficial and rewarding for your company and for college students. Internships allow employers to:
Temporarily hire quality motivated pre-professional students who can assist with special projects and give the employer the opportunity to gain new information and ideas.
Great, cost-effective way to recruit and evaluate potential employees, while increasing the awareness of your organization on a college campus.
Micro-Internships
Micro-Internships can be an alternative or a supplement to an internship program. These short-term, paid, professional projects allow companies to:
Get on-demand support for project needs as they arise
Improve hiring outcomes through audition-based assessments
Find and evaluate new talent based on skills and aptitude vs major
