The summer is a great time for a paid internship. You’ll gain valuable transferable experience while trying out a potential career interest. Plus, many majors award academic credit for internships. (Talk with your academic advisor about this.)

Our internship postings represent a wide variety of career interests from social assistance to engineering, from healthcare to finance, from communications to science. Depending on your career interests, there may be something for you.
