Host an intern

Discover how to hire a student intern for your institution and your responsibilities as an employer. 

Internships

Most students in our Education programs have the opportunity to participate in an internship: a for-credit work experience in which students apply what they learned in the classroom in a job-related situation.

In addition to the job, the internship involves an academic component like a seminar where students share their job experiences and explore how they address issues that arise on the job or keep logs of their experience to produce a report that connects their work to theoretical knowledge. 

The onsite experience is central to this learning opportunity. Committed supervision by internship hosts supports students in making the transition from university to work.
