The Tabor Internship Program has a great history of offering students the beneficial opportunity to practice skills and to apply theories learned in the classroom and to enhance professional development beyond the regular instruction in their major field of study. This program includes opportunities in all majors: Accounting, Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management Information Systems, and Marketing.

Internships enable students to experience directly the complex and changing characteristics of professional work activity. Internships also help the student develop and understand the different job roles within organizations and helps them see how one job role relates to the rest of the organization.

"Over the summer of 2006 I worked at State Farm Insurance. It was an amazing time where I was able to grow and develop as a person and as a businessman. State Farm was constantly challenging me to see the bigger picture and to try new things. When I was there I did everything from improve my communication skills, through a speech program they had, to enter new and creative ideas in a marketing proposal. I really got a chance to understand the roles within the orginization at State Farm. When I look back on it, I truly believe my college experience here at Millikin, hands down, prepared me for my Internship." - Mauro (Nico) Amoroso MIS Major

A valuable internship experience will challenge the student intern to take initiative and be creative in solving real problems. Also, it should encourage students to develop and use skills of observation, questioning, critical thinking, and reflection. The job setting for the student intern should provide an opportunity for the students to assess their own interests, motivation, and capacity for a career in the discipline in which the internship is taken.
