Question: What Kind of Work Can I Expect?
Answer: As an intern you may find yourself doing many different duties and tasks. Participating in the day to day activities gives you a heads up on what it would be like actually working for the organization. Students often participate in research; writing; attending meetings, functions and planned activities; as well as computer input and database management. Of course, the duties will be governed by the type of organization and the career field you select. In addition, students often perform administration duties that are required in the day to day operation of the organization.
