The internship program at LaGrange College connects our students with employers from a
variety of professional fields. These internships will aid students in obtaining valuable work
experience as a prelude to future employment. Students are eligible to apply during their
sophomore year, but they must have permission from the chair of their academic department (if
they have formally declared a major).
To apply for an internship:
Pick up an internship application from the LaGrange College Career Development Center
and meet in person with your academic advisor.
E-mail your résumé to jobs@lagrange.edu and have it approved and proofread by the
Career Development Center staff; books, packets, and staff are available for assistance.
The completed internship application must be returned to the Career Development
Center. The student must meet in person with the Director of the Career Development
Center in order to be registered for an internship.
The LaGrange College Career Development Center strives to be current on all job and graduate
school application processes. The Center is a member of several organizations such as the
Georgia Consortium of Colleges, the Georgia Association of Colleges and Employers, the
National Association of Colleges and Employers, the National Society of Human Resource
Management, the West Georgia Society of Human Resource Management, and the Department
of Labor‘s Employers Committee.
