Interested in hosting an intern through the Perennial Internship Program?

Interested organizations and companies work closely with the Rubenstein School to design an internship that is robust, professional and beneficial to both the organization/ company and the intern.

Rubenstein School staff and faculty assist with application review and provide support to both the intern and supervisor throughout the internship.

The intern earns academic credit for the internship and is also paid through a cost-share agreement between the host organization/ company and the Rubenstein School.

Most internships are 12 weeks long and interns work 20 hours/week. There is flexibility in terms of the hours worked per week.
