My student has just finished her/his freshman year. How important is it that he or she have a career-related summer job or internship?

It is not essential that students have a career-related internship after their first year. However, it can be helpful for students to take a job or internship during the summer or even during the school year that enables them to explore career fields that they think might interest them but that they have not yet experienced.

MountUnionCollege does not permit students to have internships before their second year of school. The reason for this is that we want our students to have sufficient background knowledge before entering the working world.
