You must apply by the 5th business day in October. The IP Coordinator will interview you in October for program acceptance. Fees help cover the costs of administering the IP program as well as maintaining full-time student status. This means you don't have to pay back student loans during your internship and you maintain access to UofA facilities and services. Employers submit job descriptions in the fall and the positions are posted at CaPS and applications from interested students are forwarded to employers.
Employers decide who and when to interview.
Interviews normally take place three months before the start of the Internship. After interviewing, employers prepare a ranked list of acceptable candidates and offers are presented by the Faculty to the candidates. Students are ultimately responsible for securing their internship employment. Responsibilities as an intern are the same as for any job. Your Faculty mentor visits your workplace once during your Internship.
