Regardless of what year of college you're in, it is always a good idea to start and continue developing a strategy to position yourself as best as possible for a job  post-graduation. A great time to take proactive steps is during the summer, when there is perhaps more flexibility in your schedule. Detailed below are chances to earn credits while also gaining real-world skills.

Internship

One credit-gaining opportunity during the summer is an internship. If you’re that career-driven Wildcat, I’m sure you’re already all over this. Might as well get credit for it, right? The process of having this count varies from college to college and major to major, so speak to your advisor to see if this is a possibility for you.
