The Department of Entrepreneurship at Grove City College requires an Internship experience for each student to enhance their professional preparation for the real-world work environment through work experience.  We believe this experience complements their academic course work by permitting application and experiential learning.  The internship experience benefits students by:

• Developing task skills in an entrepreneurial environment

• Introducing the student to the real-world organization-based experience in a work environment

• Enhancement of interpersonal and professional skills in the work place

• The opportunity to evaluate academic theory versus practice;

• And increased understanding of potential entrepreneurial opportunities.

 Both formal internships and selected qualifying jobs are candidates for academic credit.  An internship is so-titled by the host organization.  This is a situation in which the host organization has a structured program to teach the student about its operations and the business in which it operates, in return for which the student performs specified tasks for the host organization.  Qualifying jobs are those jobs through which students will gain valuable work experience to complement their academic programs, but may not be titled as internships.
