Offering internship, summer, and co-operative
education opportunities to students is a resourceful way for Cal Poly parents
to contribute to a student's academic progress and serve as mentors. Students
gain work experience in a professional environment while applying course
material from their studies. With adequate planning, internships can be
valuable learning experiences for students who in return, offer valued project
assistance and innovative ideas to their employers.
Parents may also provide full-time employment opportunities. Employers may
post their opportunities through Cal Poly's own "Mustang Jobs" online job
listing service. Employers are also invited to campus to participate in
job fairs and campus interview dates, arranged through CAREER
SERVICES.
"The growth our interns experience and the work they produce in such
a short period of time are remarkable. Each of the projects completed by
students has created significant efficiencies in production, resulting in
savings of more than $200,000 annually at Anaerobe Systems."
