Interested in Providing an Internship?

Supervised by both faculty and a designated employer, internships can be part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid, and include structured reflection to enhance the learning process.
Starting an Internship
Starting an internship is a rewarding experience for both students and employers, offering valuable skills, connections, and growth opportunities. Click on each of the 8 steps to learn how to successfully launch your internship.
Jessup affirms the National Association of Colleges & Employers (NACE) position statement to determine what qualifies as an internship.
Students should be involved in academic or career-related work with limited clerical duties. In your job description, clearly define the role of the intern, including specific examples of job responsibilities with a clear definition of the department in which he/she will be working
Sophomore through senior students are eligible to participate in an internship, depending upon your organization’s needs. You can request that a student have a strong interest in your field or require related coursework or skills.
Provide students with an orientation and training about their responsibilities. You can elevate their responsibilities and assignment duties as their skills develop.
A professional staff member, not another student, should provide training and general orientation to the intern. A mentor, who may or may not be the supervisor, can provide assistance with the intern’s professional development.
Internships vary from 4 to 40 hours per week and can range from 10 weeks to 12 months. The minimum time commitment, for an internship to be eligible for academic credit or transcript notation, requires a minimum of 100 hours in a semester (varies by program major)
Most internships are paid, with salaries varying by industry, while others are unpaid. All organizations must provide worker’s compensation and liability coverage. Unpaid interns at Jessup are covered by student accident insurance. Visit the Department of Labor FSLA for guidelines.
The supervisor should meet regularly with the intern, to guide and develop their learning objectives and give feedback for constructive growth. The supervisor will receive support from the Career Services Office at Jessup, as well as from the professor that oversees the internship course.
