Internships

We at SJIU believe that one of the most useful aspects of university activity is to combine study with practical experience. Some The majors may require an internship. Such internships can be carried out at local businesses and institutions according to SJIU’s established agreements and partnerships. SJIU can provide a list of available companies and institutions upon request. Internships are unpaid. Students who wish to obtain credits for internship should speak to their academic advisor.

SJIU help students select internships carefully. SJIU considers most appropriate working situation with regard to each student’s preferences and capabilities. Periodic meetings will be held with the student the host organization to evaluate the intern’s performance and the progress of the internship itself.

Students interested in an internship meet with their academic advisor and/or send a copy of their resume to the Office of Student Affairs at studentaffairs@SJIU.it.

Volunteer Opportunities

SJIU also offers its students the chance to become involved in the local community with various volunteer opportunities and service projects. This type of internship places students in direct contact with everyday city life, helps them to learn the language and increases their sense of civic duty and responsibility.

SJIU’s staff will work with students interested in this program to find the volunteer program that is most interesting to them. As with the internships, SJIU staff will periodically meet with the students to assist them in making the most of their volunteer opportunity.
