In an effort to provide Tampa Bay employers with a skilled and effective workforce, St. Petersburg College now requires all students in their Associate in Science degree programs, within the fields of Computer & Information Technology, to complete a credit internship course as part of their graduation requirement. As a result, there are an unprecedented number of students seeking summer internships in the fields of Computer Web Programming & Analysis, Computer Networking, IT Security, Technology Management and Web Development. Students are required to complete 180 contact hours over a 10-week period. Internships can be paid or unpaid. Many companies in the area have already benefited from academic resources such as EON Systems and Strategic Media, which were both finalists at Biz Tech 2013!, Emason, City of St. Petersburg, SMC Software and NetWolves, to name a few.
