The Monterey Bay Internships website is incredibly accessible and easy to create filters for what type of internship you’re looking for. It’s definitely the most helpful site for college students and I successfully applied for an internship using it!

Using Monterey Bay Internships exposed me to all of the amazing work opportunities in Santa Cruz I wouldn’t have otherwise known existed as an undergrad. The internship I found with the Santa Cruz County Business Council expanded my social network, gave me practical skills, and led to my current employment.

“My utilization of Monterey Bay Internships has been a huge success! It is so easy to navigate and share with others. I have applied for a few positions myself and am truly satisfied with the tools and ease of use! I have been able to assist fellow students here at CSUMB in using it and they have been genuinely thankful for the information.”
