How do I find internship opportunities?
- Start early. Many agencies have early deadlines; some up to six months before the placement term.
- Visit our Facebook group, School of Business & Economics (SBE) at SUNY Plattsburgh, to access the internship listings each semester.
- Check out the School of Business and Economics (S.B.E.) Internship board located in Redcay Hall.
- Arrange a meeting with the director of the O.C.O.I. to discuss eligibility, interests, and requirements.
Internship Success Tips
- Dress for success. Conduct yourself professionally, paying careful attention to your dress and demeanor.
- Be there on time. Tardiness is a sign of disregard.
- Maintain contact with your faculty sponsor and the O.C.O.I. director during your internship. Your S.B.E. representatives may conduct site visits and contact you about questions, concerns, and feedback you or your internship sponsor may have. We encourage you to contact your S.B.E. representatives as well. Let us know how you're doing!
- Talk to your fellow students. Tell them about your positive experience and encourage them to do an internship as well.
