INTERNSHIPS

ABOUT ILI INTERNSHIPS

Indiana Latino Institute Internship Programming is designed to expose Latino college students to careers in their specific fields of study. Selected individuals spend 125-400 hours working at their internship site and completing assignments to enhance their internship learning experience. Interns receive professional development prior to beginning their internship, support from ILI staff throughout their work, and a scholarship for completing the program requirements.

As part of this education program, interns will have an opportunity to explore a career to gain workforce development experience and learn about potential careers. Interns will build relationships with their mentors and with ILI staff, who will provide support as they complete their internships.

ILI Internship programming connects Indiana Latino college students with professional development opportunities in their fields of study. Participating students receive tuition stipends upon completion of their internships.
