Gig Training Program Application


ACCEPTING SPRING 2027 PROJECT PROPOSALS THROUGH OCTOBER 23, 2026


    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.

    • 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
    • Due to university policy, short-term projects are not eligible for academic credit
    • Before the project period, all "host" sites will be required to attend an intern support training in January. Dates will be provided soon.
    • Student placements will begin on Monday, February 8, 2027 (02/08/2027) and end on Friday, April 30, 2027 (04/30/2027)

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