Hiring students as interns is one of the best ways to increase your visibility with NC State students, bring in fresh talent to work on important projects, and cultivate full-time hires for the future!

Creating the internship
Internships may be informal or very structured; there are no requirements from NC State. Successful programs possess many of the following components:

•  Challenging work assignments.
•  Supportive work environment.
•  Clearly stated expectations for student success.
•  Active supervision and mentoring relationships.
•  Opportunities to interact with other interns.
•  Inclusion in meaningful events and meetings, when possible.

Timing
Recruiting begins early fall semester and continues through early summer. 

Determining the salary
Intern salaries range from $8.00 to 14.00 per hour (non-technical majors), $12.00-22.00 (technical majors). Very few internships are unpaid. The rate you choose will reflect your industry average as well as the profile of the individual student.

Academic credit
Most students do not earn academic credit for internships.

Housing
Students appreciate your help if the internship is out-of-town -- corporate apartments, university housing, suggested complexes, or pairing interns -- your help ensures a smooth transition.
