The Difference
Job shadowing is “a day in the life.” It’s an opportunity for you to experience, in person, the kind of job that interests you. Internships let you take a tangible role in a business, nonprofit, church, or social agency in the greater Seattle area. These are great first steps — and maybe a foot in the door.
Internships
At SPU, part of the success of our internship program is “location, location, location.” Students are in the ideal urban venue to access some of the most sought-after positions in the country, at many of the world’s high-tech, service, nonprofit, entrepreneurial, and health care leaders.
Check out several sample opportunities. Keep in mind these are places SPU students have worked in the past, rather than a list of current openings.
