The Center for Career Readiness & Community Impact (CCRCI)

Internships for Spring 2023  have been fulfilled. If you are interested in applying for a Fall 2023 internship, please follow the internship application link above.

Once you’ve filled out the application, the CCRCI office will set up an appointment to provide additional information about possible internships plus work with you on applying; this will include preparing you to submit your résumé and cover letters to selected organizations requesting internship interviews (see below for preparation tips).

In addition to the procedure above, students should register for ME 1900 for 3 credits. Please fill out the application form first, before registering: approval is required.

After finding the right fit with an organization, you will be given an internship contract for the semester, to be signed by you, your staff supervisor, and your internship supervisor.

During the internship, keep an ongoing log of work done, contacts made, observations about the specific organization, and copies of written materials you produce. You’ll be required to send updates to the program supervisor about the progress of your internship and the work you’re doing on a weekly basis, via Canvas.

At the end of the semester, submit a final paper (3 pages) describing and assessing your internship experience: what you learned, what you accomplished, what surprised you, etc.
