As with all programs at ICT/ILS, this program includes an externship. An Externship is a program component that assigns a student to a partnering company near Atlanta for 135 hours, giving the student the opportunity to put his/her new skills to use and gain real-life career training. ICT/ILS is one of the few schools that offer this as part of a student’s training in every program of study.

Recently, I interviewed with a local computer networking firm. I found two things to be very interesting during the interview. First, I did not apply for this position. The company actually found out about me through word of mouth. Second, I was told by the interviewer that “The reason we reached out to you is because your resume was so well put together and we were impressed”. Without a doubt, the mock interviews that we conducted in class provided me with tons of confidence during the interview process.
