Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions and gain valuable insights for employers about EFSC's internship program, ensuring a seamless and successful collaboration between your organization and our talented interns.

What is an internship?

An internship is a way for students to apply what they've learned in the classroom to real-life situations. It helps them gain practical experience and make connections in their desired career fields. At the same time, employers get the chance to mentor and assess potential talent.

How many hours can a student work?

The number of hours a student spends at the internship site depends on their course and program. The required total time for internships can range from 30 to 96 hours per semester. It's important that these hours are completed during the same semester the student is taking the course. The student and the employer will work together to schedule the internship hours, and they will be recorded on the EFSC Hours Reporting Log.

What do employers need to do while participating in EFSC's internship program?

Employers should provide meaningful duties that enhance students' understanding of the career field. Employers are also expected to offer general supervision. At the end of the internship, EFSC Career Services collects feedback from the employer about the intern's job performance.

Do EFSC interns receive pay?

Most internships at EFSC do not provide monetary compensation, and this is the preferred arrangement. For further details, please reach out to the Internship Office at EFSC's Career Centers. Employers can also refer to the Department of Labor's Internship Fact Sheet for additional information on unpaid internships.

What steps should I take to participate in EFSC's internship program and potentially have interns placed in my organization?

EFSC's Internship Office helps place interns for specific programs. To evaluate whether your business employs workers with the required degrees or certificates, view our internship course list. If there's a match, there's a chance that an intern could be placed in your organization.
