We will keep you posted on further developments regarding this new position. The opportunity to apply for a professional development internship has been extended to November 1. This is a new opportunity for Extension academic professional staff with appointments in the field or on campus. The staff member must have been employed with Extension for at least six years. The purpose of the internship is to allow staff to gain experience in a different area of the profession through planned, supervised activities, which normally range from 30 to 180 days.
Internships can be within Illinois or in other states.
Interns maintain their salaries during the internship. This list is just the beginning of internship possibilities. If you have ever wondered whether you would like to potentially shift your Extension career in a slightly different direction, this is your chance to explore that new area. Priority enrollment will be given to new staff but others may enroll until the 60 person maximum is reached. After registering for the PDO, you will receive information on registering for two semester hours of graduate credit.
