An internship is usually short-term employment that can be paid or unpaid. Internships can have the opportunity to become full-time careers after a student’s graduation. An internship can be beneficial because you can gain real-world experience while learning about your field in the classroom – you even may be able to gain course credit!

Part-time employment could consist of the same objectives of an internship, but it may not be in your desired field of work. To find part-time jobs in the West Point area, you can log into purplebriefcase.com.
