Internships

 

Externship/Job Shadow

During an externship or job shadowing experience, students will observe a professional in a particular field to help further explore different career paths and gain on-the-job training. This is a short term (typically one day to one week), unpaid opportunity.

Internships

An internship is a temporary professional opportunity (paid or unpaid) for students to apply classroom concepts and knowledge in a practical, hands-on experience. Students will receive on-the-job training, gain industry knowledge and skills, and build their professional network.

Micro-Internships

Micro-internships are short-term professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns.  These projects enable you to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build your network as you seek the right full-time role.  Micro-internships can be paid or unpaid and typically range from 5-40 hours of work, providing opportunities for current students to gain skills and experience and recent alumni to bridge the gap between graduation and their first post-Xavier role.  Explore micro-internships through Parker-Dewey.
