Low-Cost Internship Class Opens Doors to Jobs
More than 600 potential employers offer internships to Glendale Community College students through the Career Work Experience (CWE) class now accepting registrations for spring 2006. The cost for these pathways to employment can be as low as $60 a semester. Instructor Diane Taylor matches students to real-world internship experiences that open career possibilities. The class helps those of any age who are eager to acquire new skills, undecided about their career goals, or unable to find employment without experience. The class meets on campus, 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale, four times to cover résumé writing, interviewing techniques, job search strategies, and how to get an internship. Internships can provide valuable job experience in numerous areas--computers, accounting, marketing, engineering, social work, health care, graphic arts, broadcasting, and more. Internships can provide up to three credits. According to Taylor, "the CWE class has provided job experience and opened career possibilities for numerous students, and has saved many others from spending time and money in fields they discovered were not for them." Call 623.845.3333 to register for the CWE class or contact Taylor directly at 623.845.3062.
