The rules for life after college have changed. Your major is no longer a direct path to a career, your first job isn’t where you’ll stay forever and nothing about the future is set in stone.

Now, more than ever, you have the power to take a proactive role in building the career that fits you best. But you still need to know what you want and how you’ll get there.

That’s where The Washington Center (TWC) comes in. During a summer or semester in Washington, D.C. with TWC’s Academic Internship Program, you’ll gain the experience, skills and network you’ll need to launch a career, all while earning academic credit.

A semester or summer with TWC is so much more than just an internship. Our program consists of three main components designed to help you thrive in the workforce of the future:

1
