What our interns are saying

As someone who has done several internships, this has been by far the best experience I have ever had! Everyone is very supportive, and it is an excellent opportunity to gain applicable professional skills. I would highly recommend this program.

Entertainment Intern

I’ve had a fantastic time this summer working with Public Works. There have been so many opportunities for me to see different parts of how the department operates. Every person I met has been so kind. I feel as though I’m leaving with both new experiences and friendships.

Public Works Intern

The SMSC Internship program has truly been above and beyond what I anticipated. Not only have I gotten an in-depth look at a business process, but I have also been able to make real contributions to new and active projects. This experience has introduced me to a wide variety of business areas, from talent acquisition to gaming and even land conservation. Overall, this internship has given me invaluable experiences and opportunities to prepare me for my future education and career.

SMSC Marketing Intern

What makes an internship with the SMSC Gaming Enterprise special is the wide variety of opportunities offered here. You learn about different sides of the business while getting to meet incredible people. When you work at the SMSC, you are a part of one big family, which is the reason why I have been a part of the enterprise for three summers.
