Gig Training Program Application


Application Deadline: Tuesday, March 31, 2026 (03/31/2026) by 5 PM


    Gig Internships defined: Gig Internships are short-term projects that an organization or internal University department might require assistance with, but there isn’t quite enough work for it to be constituted as a full internship. Gig Trainings are classified as project-based learning experiences that could assist our students with acquiring more marketable skills.

    • Projects could be as little as a couple of days, upwards of two to three weeks in length, or just a few hours a day (although projects can span over a longer period, student participation cannot exceed 40 hours)
    • Projects should relate to the students’ course of study and provide the student with the opportunity to build career-related experience and develop usable skills for the future
    • Internal departments will be provided with the additional opportunity to offer mini-trainings as long as the training addresses a current workforce need
    • The Career Center will provide the student with payment for their participation in this program, whether it be project-based or training-based
    • Due to university policy, short-term projects are not eligible for academic credit
    • Student placements will begin on Monday, October 5, 2026 (10/05/2026) and end on Wednesday, December 2, 2026 (12/02/2026)

      • Please note that all "host" sites will have no financial responsibilities when participating in this program!
