Internships put students into the professional work world before they have completed their academic studies. Students can earn credit and in most cases a salary by working in a field related to their academic program.
Internships enhance and enrich students' educational experience. Students interested in an internship should meet with their academic advisor and/or call the Career Services office at (815) 280-2756 or email careers@jjc.edu.

Praise for the Internship Program at JJC
"I was very keen on finding an internship at a law firm; however, I had no idea how to start. I was beginning to lose hope. Fortunately, JJC's Career Services helped me find an excellent law internship. Initially, I started as an Administrative Assistant at Will County Legal Assistance. Within six months, I became a Legal Assistant at the Law Offices of June, Prodehl, & Renzi, LLC. I highly recommend Career Services to everyone attending JJC." – Furqaan Mustafa, JJC Alumnus
"Our interns have been outstanding. They came to us with the knowledge and we were able to supply them with the experience." - Norm Carlson, former Director of Technology Services at JJC
"It's a great way to network for the future." - Carrie Dunnagan, JJC Medical Coding Student
