Internships - Distinguish yourself early on

Historically, the global accounting education model has relied heavily on apprenticeships. Increasingly, the USA model is adopting this approach. This is being evidenced in the form of internship experiences. Your curriculum planning should include serious consideration of an internship experience. Indeed, it is reasonable to expect that future placements into entry-level professional accounting positions are most likely to originate via internships. The nature and timing of internships varies considerably, however, many public accounting internships occur in the January to April time period. Your long-term curriculum planning should take such timing issues into consideration. For more information and assistance in securing your internship, visit http://huntsman.usu.edu/internships/.
