Internships

Overview

Internships are supervised professional positions which give you the opportunity to work in a real-world setting, take on workplace projects, earn academic credit, learn new skills and concepts, and make professional contacts. Internships are unpaid positions lasting from 3 to 5 months; most are in mid-sized firms in the growing high-tech business environment of Orange County, as well as in the greater Los Angeles area. After enrolling in the program, you will attend an intensive resume-writing and interviewing workshop, and you will be guided by UC Irvine staff in locating an internship position that matches your career needs and interests. Interns perform a variety of tasks at their host companies for approximately 20-30 hours per week.
