An Internship is the best way to get your foot in the door of the career you always dreamed of. It is also the opportunity to gain supervised experience in your field of interest as well as validate your career choice. Chaffey College has over 160 positions ranging from accounting to transportation that are ready to be explored. An Internship is an adventure that could change your life, and your only limitation is your imagination.

Whether you take advantage of an established internship or elect to develop one, Cooperative Work Experience will help you maximize the training. Along with the Cooperative Work Experience Instructor, you will devise a learning agreement to ensure practical skills are acquired, and industry specific exposure is accomplished, by the completion of the program. The knowledge, skills and contacts you develop will put you ahead of the competition.
