Career Fair | Senior Recruiting | Work Experience/Internships | Recruiting Calendar

The internship program can be viewed as an investment by the sponsor company. Participating companies spend time and energy to develop skills and abilities of interns. At the same time, the sponsor receives the professional services of the intern, perhaps to be continued on a permanent basis.

All Construction Management undergraduate students are required to complete 12-weeks of internship in the construction industry, following their 500 hour work experience requirement, and will register and receive three (3) credit hours for satisfactory completion. Some students will opt to do a 24-week internship and will receive six (6) credit hours for satisfactory completion. All internships are full-time employment and students must be of at least Junior standing in the Construction Management program. Most 12-week internships will be during the summer months. Those students completing a 24-week internship will take a semester off from coursework and work that term in addition to a summer term.

The PPO will assist in placing students on internship via the Career Fair or during a week of on-campus interviews each semester, or the student may contact the PPO with a requested placement site. Compensation and possible travel expenses will be negotiated between the student and sponsor. Generally, sponsor companies who participate in on-campus interviews are given seven (7) interviews for the intern position(s) they have available. The PPO will match students and companies based upon the student’s interests and the requests of the company. During the scheduled interview week, industry representatives will interview students and, subsequently, make job offers.
