This week’s picks features seven of the many great Princeternship positions for this winter. What’s a Princeternship? We’re glad you asked.

Princeternships match undergraduate students with alumni for job shadowing and project experience over one to five days during winter break or intersession. They provide a “day in the life” in the workplace, with students often participating in board, client or patient meetings; office tours; seminars; case studies and projects. It’s a great way to explore career options without the commitment of a job or internship.
