InternOSU
InternOSU is a program designed to support campus departments in offering internship opportunities to our students. OSU Career Services assists departments with the development of internship positions, recruitment and hiring of students, and resources to support student development within these positions. Additionally, Career Services will contribute 50% of the cost of the interns' wages.
Through this program, we hope to provide opportunities to those students who will be most significantly impacted by an internship experience. Because of barriers such as cost of living, lack of experience, or travel, many students don't have the opportunity to pursue or secure an internship. Our goal is to contribute to the growth and development of these students by giving them access to this type of enriching experience while on campus.
