The New College of Florida career center offers internship positions through our Career Success Intern (CSI) program. CSIs will promote career readiness by assisting students who visit the career center in the pursuit of their career goals. CSIs will play a key role in increasing the career center’s visibility and impact on campus by speaking to students, creating new initiatives, and completing projects with the support of career center staff members.
Internship Training & Supervision:As a part of the internship program orientation, CSIs will be required to complete training on peer advising, career development topics, and basic employer relations skills. Interns will further develop their professionalism and understanding of career services.
