Please complete the form below to submit an internship opportunity to our online database. Once it's been reviewed by staff, it will be published on our website for students to find. Students will not contact you directly to apply for internships but will be pre-screened and matched by GCC's internship coordinator.

An internship is a program that provides opportunities for students to gain work experience in positions related to their field of study. Interns will apply classroom theory to professional positions while earning college credit.

Employer Benefits

• Internships are a cost-effective way for your organization to employ motivated temporary workers.
• Interns can reduce recruitment and training costs if they are later hired for permanent positions.
• Fresh insight from classroom discussions and research into changing technologies and industry may benefit your company.
• Sponsoring an intern connects your organization with GCC and can lead to further collaboration with GCC’s professional development programs for students.
• By participating in an internship program, you support higher education in your community and partner with GCC in developing a skilled and experienced workforce for your profession or industry.

Before Sponsoring an Intern

It’s important to think about flexible duties and projects and who can supervise the student.

• Do you have a specific project that is of value, would challenge the student, but for which you don’t have time in your day-to-day operations?
• Are you able to provide the intern with at least 45 hours of experience? Each credit that the student takes for the internship must equal 45 hours of labor during the semester. Internships can be for 1-6 credits. All internships end on the last day of the semester.
• Do you have staff available to supervise and support the student?
• Do you have a space where the student can perform the assigned duties?
• Do you have the technological capability to host a remote internship?

Role of the Employer

You will work closely with the student to develop learning outcomes and related objectives to ensure a productive out-come for you and a productive learning experience for the student. We will ask you to assess this partnership during and at the end of the internship. You are entitled to performance that meets your organization’s expectations.

Eligibility

GCC expects students to have completed significant coursework in their program, and to be in good academic, financial, and behavioral standing with the College. Faculty will meet with the student before the internship begins. Faculty will review the internship agreement, and will advise on the student's eligibility. Students meet with their faculty mentor on a regular (usually bi-weekly) basis, in which written reflection, goals, and work are evaluated. Every intern submits a final product for the faculty to grade.
