K-Internships
In 2009, in response to feedback from alumni Externship sponsors, the Center for Career and Professional Development is piloting a new model for summer professional development opportunities linking current students with K alumni. The CCPD will support eight student/alumni internships – K-Internships – to take place over the summer of 2009. Selected students will receive from the CCPD a stipend of $1500 each when they work in an alumni-sponsored internship for at least six weeks this summer, for at least 32 hours per week, for a minimum of 192 hours total. The $1500 stipend will help with expenses incurred by the student over the course of the summer internship.
The K-Internships for the coming summer are now available. To apply, please review the internship timeline/deadlines, application requirements, and internship opportunities. You must also enroll in the Field Experience Program in order to receive all of the following benefits:
