So is it safe to say, once I graduate SIU's Aviation program, I should be able to find a job or internship?
No aviation training program can guarantee you a job. A few can provide a job opportunity, but be very suspicious of anyone who tells you that you will get a job with less than 1000 hours or without working as a CFI. Even if you get an airline job without a CFI background, you will considered a second-class citizen in many circles (unless you flew hornets of course).
