If you decide to pursue an internship, you must complete the following steps:
Step 1: Attend an informational meeting: These meetings are held in September for the Spring Semester and January for the Fall Semester. The Academic Internship Director will notify you of the dates and times by e-mail.
Spring deadline: December 1st
Fall deadline: April 1st
Step 2: Review the Saint Michael's Internship Web site (www.smcvt.edu/internships): Please read the information on this site carefully. Develop a clear understanding of the value and responsibilities of the internship.
Step 3: Print your transcript: If your GPA cum is 2.7 or above, print your transcript from Knightvision. If your GPA is between 2.5 and 2.69 you can apply for a waiver. The form is available here.
Step 4: Contact sites: Identify sites that are of interest to you. If you cannot find an appropriate site, contact the Internship Office as soon as possible. The Director will work with you to identify a site. All new sites must be approved by the Director and/or the Department Chair.
Step 5: Arrange an interview: Once you have determined the companies/organizations that are of interest to you, contact the site supervisors and arrange interviews. The Career Development Office conducts Resume Writing and Interviewing Skills workshops throughout the semester.
Step 6: Make your site decision: Based on the results of your interviews, make your site selection. Notify the site supervisor that you accept their offer.
Step 7: Complete application: The form is available here. TYPE the application directly on the web and print a hard copy. Get the signatures of your site and faculty supervisors, then submit your completed application to the Internship Administrative Assistant, Leslie Turner, in Klein 119. Once your application is accepted, it will be forwarded to the Internship Office. Make a copy for your records.
