Ashesi's Career Services Office works hard to match the right student with the right company.  Our goal is to provide students and employers with the information to successfully match employer needs with student's interests and skills. 

The internship program is an important component of Ashesi's educational mission.  It serves as an excellent way for companies to identify future employees and also provides a great learning experience for our students.

What to Expect from an Ashesi Intern

At Ashesi students are trained to transfer the skills they are learning in the classroom to the work place. The liberal arts approach to education instills in our students excellent writing and verbal communication skills, critical and analytical thinking, and a strong work ethic. All Ashesi students are computer literate due to the state-of-the-art information technology tools on campus and the use of computers for assignments and analysis.

Below is just one example of many of our students’ experiences on internships and the high praises employers are showering on our students.
