At CTS, we're committed to providing a diverse range of opportunities through our internship program. Our program is designed to help interns explore career paths, develop professional skills, and experience personal growth. Each intern is matched with a manager based on their degree and interests.
We believe that internships are a valuable part of a student's education and we strive to provide a supportive and rewarding experience for all of our interns. For those who complete internships immediately prior to graduation, there is potential for a full-time job offer to start their career after graduation.

During my summer internship in 2016, I not only gained valuable professional skills but also experienced the true meaning of family and community within the workplace. The internship provided me with the confidence to effectively communicate with clients and cater to their specific needs. I highly recommend this opportunity to individuals who are ready to embrace challenges head-on and refuse to settle for anything less than success.
