Each year, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) encourages students to join its Internship Programs which provide opportunities for students to gain practical experiences in work environments. These government internships are designed to expose the students in an environment where they will encounter real life situations and learn to deal with everyday challenges in the workplace.
