Internship Opportunities

While MCC does not offer formal credit earning internships apart from the Co-ops & Internships required for specific academic programs (Accounting, Hospitality, Automotive, etc.), we do help students find other internship like opportunities in their academic field. These allow students to gain experience and exposure to a career field even when their academic program does not include a co-op or internship. 

Options to gain experience and exposure to a career field include part and full-time employment, volunteering, and job shadowing, among others. Career Services will work with you to assist you in researching and identifying the best option(s) for you.

    MCC is excited to highlight an opportunity for you to take part in flexible, professional, paid work experiences through Micro-Internships. If you are looking for opportunities to demonstrate your skills, explore career paths, and expand your network, these project-centered, short-term experiences are perfect for you - most can be completed remotely, typically involve 10 to 40 hours of work, and are deadline-driven as opposed to set during specific hours. 
  • Forage - Participate in virtual job simulations designed by leading companies.
    Develop your skills and gain a real understanding of different roles and sectors by working through these self-paced modules, with tasks similar to those you would undertake during a traditional internship. During these free job simulations, you will work through a set of materials and tasks set by company, which are designed to replicate the sort of work that you would undertake as an intern or graduate. All programs are self-paced (taking between 5 to 6 hours to complete) ensuring that you can fit your participation flexibly around other commitments.
    Benefits include:

    • Sample what work is like at leading companies
    • Discover career paths that you may not have previously considered
    • Build confidence and gain skills to get you 'work-ready'
    • Include these meaningful simulations on your resume
