The Student Internship Program offers rising seniors the opportunity to gain real-world experiences in the workplace through exposure to a field of their interest paired with the guidance of a mentor. Participants acquire personal developmental growth, career awareness, and a better understanding of a professional workplace environment through a 60-hour minimum placement.
Mentors provide opportunities to apply critical thinking and to gain hands-on experience and observation in a particular field. The internship should incorporate meaningful activities to provide the student with a well-rounded understanding of the profession. Student work is unpaid, and required hours must be completed between June and August.
We encourage businesses of all types to submit an application for consideration. Our applicants are diverse in their interests and the candidate pool differs each year. Currently there is a high demand for STEM internships, including computer science, engineering, programming and coding. Other areas of interest range widely from medicine and communications to psychology to criminology.
Give an Ursuline student a head start by offering an internship or shadow opportunity.
