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 the intern. Call 642-4222 for information about options for temporary replacement staffing. Mentors are experienced UC Berkeley managers, faculty and staff who are committed to coaching and developing employees. Each mentor works closely with the Staff Internship Manager to develop an internship description with clear learning objectives.
