InternOSU
About the Program
InternOSU is a program designed to support campus departments by offering internship
opportunities to our students. OSU Career Services assists with the development of
internship positions, facilitates the recruitment of students, and provides resources to support student development within these positions. Career
Services will also contribute 50% of the cost of the interns' wages. InternOSU provides
opportunities to those students who will be most significantly impacted by an internship
experience. Barriers such as cost of living, lack of experience or travel can prohibit many students from securing an internship. This program contributes
to the growth and development of students by giving them access to enriching internship experiences.
What Can Students Expect?
Through InternOSU students can work alongside OSU faculty and staff to gain professional
work experience. The internships provided by OSU departments across campus will broaden
your horizons, help you develop new skills and make progress toward your career goals.
