Step 1: Look for an Internship

Where to Look:

  • Search for an internship, there are many wonderful options out there! Greater Mankato Jobs is a partnership of Greater Mankato Growth, MN Job Match and RealTime Talent. Indeed, Handshake and Linked-In also have great internship opportunities.
  • Work with the University’s Career Development Center (CDC). The CDC hosts internship events throughout the academic year.
    • Handshake will suggest jobs based on the student’s user profile and job application history, so it is important to keep track of what the user has signed up for.
  • Students should talk with their professors inside and outside of the department to help explore options in Mankato and beyond. Most importantly, talk to your faculty academic advisor to ensure that an internship is appropriate for course credit. 
  • Talk with friends and family to see if they know of internship opportunities where they work. Personal contacts often work well.
  • Check the department’s website and Facebook page. We post several internship opportunities throughout the semester.
