Find out more by claiming your account on Handshake, then logging in and searching for jobs through Lake Michigan College's Career Service & Work Study.
Internship
An internship gives students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, build their resume, and network with local professionals in their chosen area of study. There are many internships posted on Handshake locally and across the country as well as remote.
Lake Michigan College also sponsors the Earn & Learn Internship Program, sponsored by the Whirlpool Foundation. The program provides paid summer internships to Lake Michigan College students at local employers. Find out more here.
Job Shadowing
Job shadowing is the perfect way for you to explore different career interests by accompanying or shadowing an experienced worker throughout a typical workday. You will gain a better understanding of what it is really like to work in that particular field. At Lake Michigan College, a job shadowing experience is short-term, unpaid, and does not lead to college credit. Schedule an appointment with Career Services through Handshake to learn more and find out what is currently available.
