for students
It is never too early to start planning for your internship. The total process from identifying an internship of interest, to applying, interviewing, and accepting a position can take several weeks, but will likely take several months.
One semester before your internship
STEP 1 - Read about your rights as an unpaid intern.
STEP 2 - International students should review and complete the ISS work authorization documentation.
STEP 3 - Search for and apply to internship opportunities posted on the ID Department Canvas Course and on Handshake. You can also apply to positions not posted on Handshake.
You've got an interview!
Congratulations. Before you dash off to your future employer's office, take a couple minutes to read through the following.
STEP 4 - Read (again) about your rights as an unpaid intern. (Yes, I know you've already read this, but it never hurts to read something twice.)
STEP 5 - Read about the academic internship responsibilities and bring a copy with you on your interview to share with your potential employer.
