About SDBEC
 

Students: Be an Intern and get the practical skills that could help you get a job in biotechnology.

What is an internship?
Internships are paid or unpaid opportunities to get on-the-job practice in job skills. Internships typically last for a few months or for a summer term and can be part-time or full-time. It is an excellent way to find out more about the industry. In addition, the skills learned in an internship can make someone a better job candidate when they interview for their career job of choice.

 

College Students Seeking Internships

  • Watch local job postings on websites for biotechnology-related opportunities.
  • Prepare a skills-based resume.
  • Update your basic lab skills in a workshop.
