Internships offer an affordable method of recruitment and training while helping students make important decisions about careers.
Our program requirements include the following:
Supervision
Designate a skilled mentor, with professional expertise corresponding to the internship focus, who guides the student and is consistently involved in their professional development.
Focus
Your internship includes clearly defined goals with tangible milestones and an appropriate level of challenge that corresponds with their class level. Connect roughly 80% of the intern's time to a main project. No more than 20% of the intern’s assignments should be clerical or administrative.
Learning
Internships are primarily offered as learning experiences and must include learning objectives (i.e. by the end of the internship, what will your student intern have learned?). Students cannot be treated as consultants hired solely to provide a service to your organization.

Paid interns feel valued by their employers, are naturally more competitive and result in greater retention in full-time positions. Rates in western New York for undergraduate students range from $14.20 to $17+ per hour, and for graduate students, $18 to $35 per hour, based on industry.
If your company is unable to pay wages, consider providing alternate incentives. For example, many employers reimburse students for tuition costs associated especially with summer internships. Consider the following opportunities for financial support:
