Internships for Summer 2019

It may seem early to look for a summer internship, but most of the companies are looking right now for students to work next summer. You can find internships listed on the common job sites like LinkedIn and Indeed.com, but the following sites focus on internships:

aftercollege.com
wayup.com

It is also necessary to look at the website of a particular company that you are interested in. For example:

http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/students.html
https://careers.google.com/jobs?_escaped_fragment_=t%3Djo%26jid%3D/company/engineering-practicum-intern-summer-2019-345-spear-st-san-francisco-ca-94105-usa-4266300541&utm_campaign=google_jobs_apply&utm_source=google_jobs_apply&utm_medium=organic

Textbooks in the library

Did you know you can check out textbooks from the Foothill library? Sometimes they will let you keep them for the entire quarter! For those of you who cannot get to campus, there is a good chance that your local library will have a textbook for most programming languages. Just make sure that the book covers the version of the language that you are studying in your class.

Silicon Valley Code Camp

Next weekend is the best place to learn and network in Silicon Valley. Volunteering will not only make an inexpensive experience even cheaper, but it will ensure that you make some nice contacts.
https://www.siliconvalley-codecamp.com/

To Volunteer, first register and then:

1. On the profile page, check the volunteer box and fill in your phone number.
2. Fill in all required details including check the box "I can not attend this year", then SAVE.
3. Go to the About/Volunteering and get your discount code.
4. Register using your discount code.
5. Go to About/Volunteering and choose "Select a Job" (then choose an available job).

Assuming you select a job, and complete the assignment, you will get a free dinner saturday night catered by Andy's BBQ, as well as very cool T-Shirt you can wear with pride for years! You can still go to most of the sessions, just not while you are volunteering.

Scholarships Available

More than 60 scholarships are currently open for students to apply via AcademicWorks. The Scholarship Application Checklist (available on the Financial Aid website) will help students navigate the general application and write their "My Story" essay. Both are required before students can apply to the individual scholarship postings.
