Staff internships are paid, career development opportunities with a mentor. Typically, employees do not consider applying for staff internships until they have served in a position for at least a year. Successful interns are employees who are highly motivated, strong performers with a long-term commitment to working at the University of California. Each internship will be advertised in the campus Job Listings , usually throughout out the spring and summer. Some interns combine their internship and current positions at reduced time while others work exclusively as interns.
Internships can be at almost any job classification level.
Managers can apply for funding from the Staff Internship Program to support the development of a competitively selected internship or consult with program staff about crafting internship opportunities for employees within or outside of their department. Work as an intern is paid at the classification level of the internship. An intern's home department can use the salary savings to temporarily replace them. I know that Applicant Workshops are announced when each internship is advertised. At the applicant workshop, Program Staff will give you tips on how to write a competitive application, how to talk to your supervisor about getting permission to apply, and how to prepare for the interview.
