Internships
Employers love to hire job applicants with internship experience, and students in the College of Liberal Arts regularly land spots in the most coveted internship programs and professional development workshops in the country, thanks to the CLA Internship Program. The office facilitates hundreds of internship placements every year, offers appointments with specialists who review students’ resumes and help prepare them for interviews, and hosts numerous workshops on a variety of career-related topics, including job-search strategies and networking.
One of our biggest internship success stories here in the CLA is Asjia Garner, who worked as an intern at Warner Bros., the Obama Foundation and the Black Meets World podcast before taking a job as an associate communications director for the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden. Then there’s Kaleigh Tompkins, who has been a digital experience intern at LA28: The Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2028 for the past year. And Alicia Casey did an internship at Fender Guitars last summer; she is now a sustainability strategy intern at NBCUniversal.
