Internships are an integral and exciting part of the Unity College experience. They help students achieve deliberate learning goals, provide structured reflection on career choices, and allow for focused professional development and networking.
Unfortunately, most internships are unpaid and students have to self-fund, greatly restricting their ability to find the best internship to fit their academic and professional goals. Imagine where students could be placed if they weren’t restricted by the challenges from lack of funding - places like the
Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia
,
Operation Wallacea Research in Indonesia
, or the
Manatee Rehabilitation Centers in Belize.
Students can also use this experience to set themselves up for full time employment opportunities working for agencies such as the
Maine Warden Service, the National Park Service
or
ReVision Energy.
We have the ability to place our students into internships worldwide, but many can’t take advantage of these opportunities due to lack of funding for travel, accommodations, and other living expenses.
YOU can change that!
