Information for interns
If you're a Carey alum up to six years out of school, the Internship Program offers the chance to gain hands-on experience in a real workplace. You'll be matched with a business aligned to your interests and goals, giving you valuable exposure, mentoring and a head start in your career. Internships are a minimum of 150 hours and may be paid or volunteer-based, depending on the host.
Information for hosts
Hosting a Carey intern is a rewarding way to support the next generation while gaining fresh insights and energy for your business. Hosts commit to offering at least 150 hours of meaningful work, providing supervision and completing a short post-placement review. We’ll promote your opportunity, help match you with candidates and support you throughout the process.
