National Internship Awareness Month: Strategic Partnerships helps students engage with industry professionals

April 13, 2023
College students are often told that finding internships are the key to launching their career after graduating. For students at University of Houston-Clear Lake, getting connected to an internship opportunity can be as simple as attending a Hawk Venture tour, offered through the Office of Strategic Partnerships. The tours allow external partners to showcase their facilities and operations to students, as well as a chance for both sides to network.
