Valuable Internship Experience
In addition to your classroom experience, we recognize the importance of real-world application. Through our partnership network, students are provided with opportunities to actively apply their technology education within their chosen field to gain valuable work experience.
When I first started in the tech field I did not have much experience. I was a beginner; it was like a foreign language to me. The knowledge I had prior to B&SC was more troubleshooting the ins and outs of printers and computers. My internship helped me gain the experience and knowledge for a successful career path.
