Nothing prepares a person for the world of work like actual job experience. Cogswell encourages students to participate in internships, join alumni for short term projects, and work part time in their field.

Employers benefit by getting talented help for projects and departments while knowing they are training employees for the future.

Here's what students have to say:

"My internship with Clear Channel/Wild 94.9 has been the best thing I have ever tried to do professionally."
Clay McChesney, '06

"My time spent working at Tam Communications has been fantastic. Many of the goals that I had for this internship have been surpassed, and the projects that I have worked on have been seen by thousands of people. I have been able to use the skills that I've learned at Cogswell on almost every project I have participated in."
David Trounstine, '06

“Ultracade has been a great gauge of my skills that I acquired in Cogswell. They were expecting an intern who needed to be guided around by the hand, but by the second week they had put me in an important position on the development team. I'm glad to see Cogswell has helped me far exceed entry level expectations in the gaming field.”
Mike McMahon, ‘05
