The February 7 College of Professional Studies “Internship Fair
for Credit” attracted 370 CPS students and at least 30 additional
students from The Peter J. Tobin College of Business.
Participating recruiters represented 42 major companies,
including Coca-Cola, Madison Square Garden, MTV, Leading Hotels of
the World, NYPD, SONY and Time, Inc. Students had the opportunity
to disseminate their résumés and converse with each recruiter. To
date, CPS has placed more than one dozen students into internship
programs, and the number continues to grow each week.
Emphasis on internship placement is growing within St. John’s,
and one of the goals of the CPS external affairs office is to
negotiate with as many significant companies as possible to
increase students’ workforce experience and job potential upon
graduation.
