Students
The Office of Business Engagement & Strategic Partnerships (BESP) collaborates with businesses and organizations to provide a variety of career experiences including internships, site tours, industry chats, mock interviews, guest speakers, and special career events.
Our goal is to provide experiences that complement what you learn in class so we can help empower and prepare you for your life after high school.
Internships
My internship provided me with real world experience in the finance field. I was able to use what I had learned in the classroom and apply it to the tasks I was given while also learning new skills related to my career focus. I also learned how to navigate the work environment and collaborate with colleagues in order to solve problems. This helped make me a more experienced candidate for future employers.

Financial Education Events
After the Bite of Reality event, I learned that money really goes fast and you truly have to prioritize and make sacrifices.
I learned that the best things to spend on first are necessities/spending the most on what you need.
