Internships

Internships are available in the Architectural Engineering Technology, Building Efficiency & Sustainable Techology, Construction Technology, Design for the Web, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Interior Design and Studio Arts programs.

One of the challenges facing students preparing to enter the workforce is getting a job in an industry without any industry experience. Since one cannot get experience without first having a job, it can become a frustrating dilemma. NCC has a solution; Internships can break the vicious cycle.

Employers hire student interns who are nearing graduation and ready to begin their careers. The students can work part-time or full-time and receive college credit for the work experience they gain. The beauty of the program is that it serves as a bridge between college and career. Students gain experience before graduating, and they are introduced to the work force while they are still capable of upgrading their educational portfolios. Employers get the benefit of being able to meet ambitious people with the latest and most up-to-date skills, fresh from college.

The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work
