Make a Wise Investment

Washington Center Costs and Financial Assistance

If you’ve read or watched the news recently, you know employment prospects are bleak these days. New college graduates are entering one of the worst job environments in years.

“My Washington Center experience has exceeded my expectations by helping me to pursue a career within the Department of Justice (DOJ) with the United States Marshals Service (USMS).”


Tracey Taylor, TWC ‘08

Arkansas State University
Internship: Marshals Service
Current title: Team Leader of Education and Training, Department of Justice (DOJ),
United States Marshals Service (USMS)


You need an edge in the job market,
something to set you apart from the competition and help you land your all-important first position.

What sets apart the people who are getting hired from their struggling peers? Experience.

A full 90 percent of new hires have completed an internship or cooperative learning experience.

Clearly, employers want to hire experienced staff. An internship through The Washington Center gives you the experience—the edge—you need.  Because The Washington Center program is more than just an internship.

Plus, the cost of participation is often comparable to what it costs to attend your home college or university for a similar period. Occasionally, it’s a bit higher, but still within reach; and considering the exceptional support, high quality academics and broad network The Washington Center offers, it’s well worth the investment.

More than 75 percent of U.S. students who complete an internship through The Washington Center receive some form of financial assistance. The Washington Center has recently increased the funding it makes available to ensure that more students - like you - can benefit from the incredible experiences we provide.

Look over the links above, and then contact your institution’s Washington Center campus liaison or The Washington Center at info@twc.edu or at 800-486-8921 for more information.

 

“Because of my time spent with TWC I was able to network and make connections that I will be able to use for the rest of my professional life. The lessons that I learned while interning through The Washington Center helped me to secure job with Senator Voinovich.”
