Cultural Resources & Historic
Preservation Internships
Why
work as an intern? Internships are rewarding, career-building experiences. Working
as an intern is an excellent way to explore a career while gaining valuable
experience and new insights. A summer job doing the kind of work you may be
considering for a career can help you better gauge your own skills and
desires, make valuable contacts, and even consider new options. Cultural
resources and historic preservation work--the job of identifying, documenting,
preserving, and interpreting the varied aspects of human culture--involves
many skills; an internship can open your eyes to the various opportunities
that this kind of work holds.
