Local Bloomsburg University student completes internship

Bloomsburg University announced more than 500 students completed academic internships. A for-credit, academic internship must meet certain requirements set by academic departments and includes a formal agreement between the university and the internship site. Students work with a site supervisor and faculty advisor throughout the internship, gaining hands-on learning and practical experience for their future career.

Caitlin Elphick from Milton completed an internship with Occupational Therapy of Delaware.

"Career experiences such as internships are a fantastic way for students to apply what they've learned in class, experience career fields first-hand, and/or course-correct career paths they may not like," said Wren Fritsky, director for career and professional development. "Some companies hire exclusively from their intern pool, so it greatly increases a student's chance of finding a career fit right after graduation."
