Internships

One of the many great opportunities with the School of Mining and Mineral Resources is the chance at testing the waters of a potential career with a student internship. Many interns have the opportunity to go to a mine site to do their internship. Companies invest in their interns. Interns also have an opportunity to learn many technical skills necessary for their field, including coding. Not only are there many opportunities for paid internships, some companies will also pay for housing and other expenses for interns living on-site.
