Registering for an internship

 
Comments from students who have successfully completed their internship:
Business Management
"Overall I believe that the internship provided a very good learning experience; it helped me increase my communication skills and allowed me to appreciate how it feels to be part of a business culture."
Video Arts and Technology
"My internship was the best thing I experienced at BMCC. The first day, I was on a live shoot at Yankee Stadium watching a high definition broadcast and assisting on a locker room interview."
Office Automation / Operations
"The internship opened the door for me to comfortably reenter the work force after I was away for a few years raising a family and working towards my degree. Having BMCC behind me, supporting my efforts, helped me feel less apprehensive about facing the business world again."
Travel & Tourism
"My internship experience was outstanding. I worked at a major airline where I was able to apply what I had learned in my classes. I really felt part of a team and best of all I got a full-time job with the airline when I graduated."
