On-Campus Internships

In the second year of the Program, ITAP Associates begin year-long, on-campus internships working closely with faculty members and IT staff. Students receive training, real-world experiences and close mentoring in areas of their choice, whereas faculty and staff members receive trained students to help them with their IT needs.

All potential faculty and staff internship hosts must submit an application for an intern. It is the expectation of the ITAP program that Hosts clearly communicate their expectations with the interns and provide an organized, mentored environment where students can enhance their IT skills.

Once all Hosts are selected, ITAP students will obtain their internships in a manner similar to a "real-world" job search. They will receive the ITAP Classifieds and must contact internship hosts directly and arrange for an interview. During this period, ITAP students can contact as many hosts as they desire and can interview with multiple sites. Similarly, an internship host can interview and consider as many students as they desire. Once an Internship Host has interviewed a candidate whom they would like to offer their position, they may do so by informing the student and the Program Director.

Students who are offered positions should respond either affirmatively or negatively to the host and to the Program Director. All ITAP students are required to have a résumé prepared and reviewed by the Assistant Director prior to applying to any job postings. In addition, ITAP students need to have attended an interview preparation workshop. Before or during the interview process, the Program Director and Assistant Director will gladly meet with any ITAP students who would like assistance in preparing to interview or in finding and selecting an internship.
