DDP students are encouraged to participate in an internship as part of their academic and career preparation training.

Students who have completed an internship are more likely to:

  • Find a job in desired field
  • Make more money
  • Have more job offers at graduation
  • Have greater job satisfaction
  • Have extended exposure to potential employers
  • Make rapid advancements in the organization
  • Get a solid lead with at least one employer
  • Gain job references

WSU Career Services provides a comprehensive internship program that DDP students are welcome to participate in. To participate, schedule an appointment with your DDP career counselor for:

  • Information about the program
  • Exploration of interests, skills, and values to determine the type of internship to pursue
  • Guidance on search strategies and developing your own internship
  • Feedback on cover letters, resumes, and interviewing

Schedule an appointment by calling 800-222-4978 or e-mail CareersForDDP@wsu.edu.
