If you are considering an unpaid internship you need to review guidance. For unpaid interns you will need to enroll the students in one of our practical WORK courses for two reasons: to provide worker’s compensation insurance and to ensure students set learning objectives in compliance with the law. Unpaid internships are not free labor, they are learning opportunities for students that you are agreeing to volunteer your companies time to teach, mentor, and coach.

During the course students are working towards meeting their three learning objectives you created with them when they started their course. The site visit is typically scheduled about halfway through the course. It is the student's responsibility to schedule the site visit using a scheduler they were provided. It is their job to coordinate the visit between the three parties (student, instructor, and faculty). Before the meeting you both should meet and go over the three learning objectives to gather your thoughts on how you have worked on them and what you want to talk about for our brief meeting. You want to cover: an overview of the work experience, your goals, how you worked on them, what progress you made, and share thoughts on what went well. There is a guide to help you prepare.

For automotive, hospitality, and CSIS internships we have an interest form we would like you to fill out. Find them below.
