University of Dreams offers students internships in some of the most competitive companies and desirable cities. UOD guarantees student placement in an industry and location of choice. UOD takes away much of the planning and securing of an internship. During a down economy, this can be helpful and make the difference between finding a quality internship of choice or not finding one that meets an applicant's specific specifications.
In the real world, students must learn how to conduct a successful job search. UOD offers students resume assistance, interview prep, and secures all internships for applicants. Students who use this process as a learning experience can benefit from the assistance provided; but students who relinquish all responsibility in the preparation phase, may cheat themselves out of the valuable learning experience on what it takes to get a job.
