Hartnell College recognizes that internships and student work experience are gateways to the success of our students. The Transfer and Career Center is available to guide and support students through through career development and employment preparation. 

This site provides information on experiential employment and education opportunities to students and recent alumni through collaboration with the campus community and local employers. This is a valuable opportunity for our students to apply their academic knowledge in the workforce arena and network with their future employers, giving them a further competitive edge.

Here you can browse through a variety of paid and unpaid internships, as well as on-campus and off-campus employment opportunities, that are available to our students in various disciplines/ career fields. Additionally, further down this page you will find a list of career exploration and job preparation resources.
