Placements & Internships

Placements and internships are long-term opportunities that match students with a local community partner for the duration of the semester or year.

Service-learning Projects

The CCE works with academic courses that incorporate service-learning into the curriculum; a CCE course project involves faculty, students, and community partners working to develop and implement a project that aligns the course learning objectives with a community-identified need. This is a great way for students to gain real-world work experience while helping make our community a better place.
