Steps in the Process
I want to find an internship
- Your search for an internship should begin at least one semester prior to your desired start time.
- Search for opportunities on the CareerLink job board as well as other job search sites.
Step 1
To get started on your search, set up an appointment to meet with your career coach. Appointments can be in-person, over the phone or virtual.
I want to see if my job or internship qualifies
- Your current position or internship may qualify if it is a new position or recent promotion, you are working on a special project, or you have recently taken on new responsibilities.
- Your internship must be related to your major and/or your future career plans.
- The position cannot be more than 30% clerical.
- The number of internship credit hours earned is based on the number of work hours devoted per week to the new project/position/job duties.
