Internship Program

Gain Hands-on Experience 

The Center for Accounting Transformation Internship Program gives students the opportunity to obtain "hands-on" experience working in a business environment on "real life" programs and projects. It provides interns with exposure to a variety of practice areas and supports the learning of the basic skill set used in each practice area through the internship "Duty Stations".

Program Benefits

The Center for Accounting Transformation encourages knowledge sharing and diversity, which makes for a positive work environment. Our program allows interns to work flexible hours around their school schedule ranging from 15-20 hours per week. During breaks and summer sessions, interns have the option of increasing their hours to full-time status if their assigned project budget allows for the increased hours.

Interns are introduced to projects for companies that may provide networking and reference opportunities in their career, and have the opportunity to:

  • Learn about marketing, design, graphics and communications, content curation
  • Gain knowledge and experience in video editing and production for a variety of digital marketing programs and assets
  • Gain practical insight into key career paths in digital marketing
  • Develop time-management, organization, writing, and communication skills
  • Foster an understanding of virtual work trends across industries
  • Receive real-time mentorship from industry professionals with potential for project collaboration opportunities.
  • Gain familiarity with a virtual work structure, including tools and techniques to manage responsibilities and share information
  • Have the opportunity to gain academic credit with an eligible internship
  • Strengthen remote/virtual work skills and show ability to perform not just classwork virtually, but be committed to professional responsibilities
  • Hone skills for future work experience, and apply the experience to résumés for discussion during future interviews

Duty Stations

Our program is structured in a "tour of duty" format. Interns generally start off at the end of the marketing life cycle and work their way back to the beginning. Each "duty station" generally lasts one to two months (depending on the number of hours worked per week and the ability of the intern).
