Community Internship Collaboration

Business Mentors       Key Dates       Intern Positions       Student Application

WORK

Local businesses will supply a project-based work experience during this semester-long internship course. Working alongside a mentor from the company, you will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to complete the project. Apply directly to a particular internship, to ensure it is something in which you are interested.

LEARN

In preparation for your internship, learn how to tailor a resume and cover letter, give a winning job interview, and make a compelling presentation. Throughout the program, you will learn not only from your mentor at work, but from a faculty advisor and through your fellow students during the weekly class. Finally, you will share your experience in a presentation.

EARN

You will earn 1 academic credit for your completion of the program, and you will be paid $10.50/hour up to 60 hours for the work completed during your internship. Businesses may choose to hire interns after the completion of the program, should a suitable position be available.
