Internship/Cooperative Education Program

The University has more than 50 academic departments within the five colleges of the University (College of Engineering; Business/Public Policy/Health; Liberal Arts & Sciences; Natural Sciences/Forestry/Agriculture; and Education & Human Development) that offer academic credit and faculty supervision for students seeking work/learning opportunities with employers. The Career Center is the point of contact for new employers who wish to establish internship positions and/or engineering cooperative education positions for University of Maine students with their companies. Advantages for employers who hire student interns include:

• An inexpensive method to get special projects done, using upperclass students trained in a specific discipline.
• An opportunity to infuse the workplace with talent and fresh ideas
• An opportunity to provide low-cost training and screening, resulting in less cost-per-hire, and a way to hire experienced, full-time employees after graduation who have already demonstrated a "fit" with the company
• An opportunity to provide service to the University of Maine by hiring student interns
• Student employees earning credit are covered by University liability insurance
• The Career Center and Department Faculty Coordinators advertise your positions, provide resume referrals for your consideration, and assist with logistics, troubleshooting, and problem-solving as needed.

On-Campus Recruiting

The Career Center hosts more than 75 company visits to the University of Maine each year, and offers the support and facilities for a successful recruiting visit. Employers may arrange for interview schedules designed to recruit students for full-time employment upon graduation, for summer internships, for cooperative education positions, or a combination thereof. The Career Center works with employers prior to the campus visit by publicizing the employer's recruiting needs and arranging candidate pre-screening by forwarding resumes of interested students who meet the employer's criteria. In addition, the Career Center holds an annual on-campus Career Fair in January.
