“Internships provide the surest link to a great full time job for our students upon graduation. The University of Akron has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with the business community in this process. Organizations get productive and enthusiastic new workers and our students get very useful work experience. This is one of the many ways that The University of Akron contributes to productivity gains and economic growth.”

"The Center for Career Management has been invaluable to the students at the CBA. In particular, our students appreciate the links that the staff has forged with area businesses for internships, co-ops and full time work after graduation. The one-on-one assistance given by the staff is so very important. The staff helps students prepare for the interview process, and also takes the time to get to know the students’ career goals as well. The personal touch is truly what sets The University of Akron Center for Career Management apart-- and helps employers and students achieve a great match for the mutual needs"
