UC Santa Cruz Economics Department Connects Local Businesses with Skilled Interns

 

Did you know the UC Santa Cruz Economics Department sponsors over 100 student interns for academic credit during the year?  We encourage local companies to consider becoming a mentor and supervise a student intern through our undergraduate economics field study program!  We sponsor student internships in fields such as data analytics, marketing, research, sales, events, finance, accounting, administration, and human resources. 

 Employers share some words of praise about UC Santa Cruz student interns:

“[the intern] is amazing. The best self-starter, take-her-own-initiative intern we have ever had here!”

“[the intern] was an extremely quick learner, and such a great student to work with! I had to give him all fives [highest score on evaluation] as he absolutely shined in his roll.”

“[the intern] stands out from the crowd. She is intelligent and has a great personality, she's instantly likable. It's clear that she will go far!”

About the Economics Field Study Internship Program:
Students earn course credit while gaining valuable firsthand experience in the workplace in fields such as accounting, administration, events, marketing, management, research, sales, and more!  Internship experience is helpful to students when applying to graduate schools and jobs after graduation. An internship can enhance personal qualities that are useful in professional life such as the ability to work independently, increased self-confidence, good judgment, perseverance, and reliability.
