Finding Internships & Co-Ops
Here are some resources you can use to identify internship and/or co-op positions:
Weekly Newsletters & E-mails on the Listserv
Every Monday the Director of Experiential Learning & Outreach sends out a list of open internships, co-ops and jobs. Review this newsletter to identify positions you may want to apply to. Additionally, as employers reach out about hiring UGA engineering students, you will see e-mails pop-up on the listserv requesting resumes. Keep a close watch on your e-mail so you do not miss out on these opportunities!
Handshake
Handshake is UGA’s internship, co-op, and job board. Employers will post their positions here if they are interested in recruiting UGA students. If you don't have a Handshake account, you'll need to create one here using your UGA MyID and password. If you've already established your Handshake account, you can log in here.
Engineering Experience Job Board
The UGA College of Engineering's Engineering Experience page and Job Board is a specialized database of opportunities for engineering students. On this page you will find targeted job postings, research positions, and volunteer opportunities for all engineering majors.
EngineerJobs.com
EngineerJobs lets you search for positions by discipline or state. Once you search you can narrow down positions to Internships/Co-ops in the left hand column under “Experience Level."
Other Job DataBases
Professional organizations maintain their own job boards for members and student members. These databases can great places for one to find opportunities specific to your field or industry.
