Career Center in Becker Hall
One of the distinguishing characteristics of Union's liberal arts education is our emphasis on applying your skillsets through practical experience. Our ideal location – near the state capital of Albany, in the heart of the Northeast's "Tech Valley," just a three-hour drive to New York City and Boston – provides the possibility of valuable internships in all fields.
A recent survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) indicates that employers extended full-time job offers to nearly 70 percent of their interns. An internship will not only give you an edge over your competition when job searching, but it is a valuable way to try out a potential career field of interest. Many internships take place over the summer, although part-time internship opportunities with local organizations are a great way to gain experience during the academic year.
