TWC runs both on-site and virtual internship programs that are open to all UW undergraduates (all majors welcome) and provides comprehensive service. Placement organizations include government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, museums, arts organizations, and international organizations. Hundreds of UW students have participated in this program since UW’s affiliation in 1977, and many made connections that led to post-degree employment.
At the information sessions a TWC representative will describe the structure of the program and the application process, we’ll cover the cost (including using financial aid) and UW credit, and a recent UW grad who participated in TWC’s Summer 2020 virtual program will talk about her experience. There will be time at the end to answer your questions.
For students who want to go to D.C., TWC’s facilities are accessible to students who have disabilities. In addition, their Disability Services Coordinator will assist with accommodation at the internship and programming sites.
