Organized by the SLA Maryland Chapter 

Whether you are a student, between jobs, or an employer, this Workshop offers something for everyone!  For library, information science, and knowledge management students looking for career employment, nothing spells success like having hands-on learning experience in addition to classroom instruction.  Internships can greatly expand your knowledge, experience, contacts base, and chances of career success.  Many employers look for internship experience when hiring and often look to their own interns as the best potential candidates to fill positions.  

Savvy employers know that interns are a great return on investment.  They provide a fresh and diverse talent pool for gaining new insights, novel ideas, specialized strengths and skill sets.  Intern contributions can keep an organization successful, relevant and competitive! 

It’s a winning combination!

  • Students who want to jumpstart their careers by learning the essentials of finding and applying for internships, hearing about a variety of great internship opportunities and how to land the one that is right for you.
  • Those who are between jobs and want to find out how the right internship can help you keep your skills sharp, gain new ones, expand networks, and even test-drive a budding area of interest. 
  • Employers who want to meet prospective interns and learn more about how an effective internship program can be an excellent way to gain a foothold into addressing today’s workload and tomorrow’s workforce.
