Internships

“Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.”
                                                                                                            -John Keats                                 

Student Success:

"Gonzaga has taught me so much along the way and I was able to bring all of this together into a real life setting. I realized that working hard, what Gonzaga teaches you, really pays off.

My internship at Target taught me how to act in a business setting -- how to run a business, how to be a leader and how to communicate with others. By the end of the internship you're actually running the business.”

Company Success:

“Desautel Hege Communications has frequently used Gonzaga students as interns over the years. Two of these interns currently work in positions in the company—they were such valuable assets to us, we didn’t let them leave! I find Gonzaga students to be great additions to our team—they are good thinkers, motivated and eager to learn the business.”
                                           --Michelle Hege, COO, Desautell Hege Communications

"Internships provide a hands-on experience and head-start on careers. SCAFCO has hired Gonzaga interns for many years, with great success. Some have stayed with the company after graduation and continued their career with SCAFCO. We are anticipating hiring several interns this year."
