Internships at Peer Career
Peer Career undergraduate interns are eligible to receive up to 2 hours of course credit through Peer Career. Peer Career interns will complete 20 hours of paraprofessional peer career skills training before the fall semester begins. These hours will count toward the 140 site hours. Once trained, interns will provide one-on-one paraprofessional career guidance and exploration to students in career decision making.
Interns will also facilitate understanding of a variety of self-assessment inventories and assist students in conducting career research. Interns are required to work 5-6 hours per week and attend a weekly staff meeting on Fridays at 12:00 noon. Interns are also required to complete 15-25 hours of outreach presentations to clubs, classes and student organizations. These 15-25 hours will also go toward the required 140 site hours.
Graduate students are also encouraged to complete internships and practicums in Peer Career. Peer Career interns and practicum students must also fill out a volunteer application.
