Internships & Other Types of Experiences

How to gain experience is one of our most frequently asked questions and perhaps it is for you, too. Internships, co-ops, and other ways to gain experience are helpful for students to explore career paths and apply what they’ve been learning in the classroom. We’ve put together information on different types of experiences, why students would pursue those opportunities, and how to find them.

Connecting Students with Employers

Handshake is the UMN’s career network for connecting students with local, national, and international employers. Here students can find jobs, internships, events, and career resources. 

If an organization contacts you to recruit UMD students – we’re here to help. We can respond to employers with instructions to post internship and job opportunities to Handshake. We can also provide employers with information and answer questions about on-campus events including career fairs, class and club presentations, info sessions, and interviewing students at UMD.
