Tap into the Gainesville area internship market through BRIDGE
The Career Resource Center and the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce formed a partnership for the purpose of providing local, career-related internships for UF students. Take advantage of local internships through BRIDGE, Building Relationships through Internship Development with Gainesville Employers.
Through this initiative, we hope to equip students with practical, real-world work experiences that will help them transition to secure, long-term employment opportunities. The Chamber Initiative provides benefits to students, participating organizations and the community.
