Arrange Internships
Learned classroom skills combined with practical application.
We encourage all students to participate in experiential learning opportunities. Internships are a great way for them to gain valuable experience and make connections. For you, it’s the opportunity to meet fresh talent. Infuse your organization with new ideas. Create a candidate pool of potential new hires.
For an experience to be considered an internship, it must meet the following criteria:
The experience must be an extension of the classroom. A learning experience in which students can apply their classroom knowledge. It must not be simply to advance the operations of the employer or be the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.
The skills or knowledge learned must be transferable to other employment settings.
The experience has a defined beginning and end, and a job description with desired qualifications.
There are clearly defined learning objectives/goals related to the professional goals of the student’s academic coursework.
There is supervision by a professional with expertise and educational and/or professional background in the field of the experience.
There is routine feedback by the experienced supervisor.
There are resources, equipment, and facilities provided by the host employer that support learning objectives/goals.
How to Post Your Internship
Micro Internships
A micro internship is a short-term, professional, paid work experience that is completed remotely. These assignments typically require 5 to 40 hours of work by the student. The tasks should be similar to those completed during a typical internship.
