INTERNSHIP INFORMATION

Everyone keeps telling you that internships are a great way to get experience, find employment, and convince graduate school admissions that you are worth your beans, but how do you find one?

FINDING AN INTERNSHIP
Are you looking for an internship in the human services? Attend a session to learn why an internship experience is important, how to approach an organization you would like to work with, how to make the most of your internship experience, and which organizations are looking for your help.

INTERNSHIP GRANTS
The Career and Community Learning Center offers the following competitive $1200 awards each semester:

Be already engaged in an internship or have been accepted into an internship position that meets the following conditions:

You are completing or will complete a minimum of 120 hours of work at the site.

You have been assigned a supervisor at your internship site who will verify your work hours and help ensure that you have a good internship experience.

Your work is off-campus and not directly connected to a University department/unit or to a University faculty/staff member.

You are not receiving a salary for your internship work. Small "perks" such as occasional lunches, free tickets, parking privileges, etc., do not count as salary. Modest stipends (less than $100 total) do not count as salary either.

Paul Taylor Award: supplemental monies ($600) for an English major doing a writing-intensive internship.
