Be an Intern at FIUTS!
This summer FIUTS will offer 2 unpaid internship positions for students from all schools interested in learning more about the field of program management, international education, marketing, event planning, and non-profit administration.
Internships are similar to volunteer positions but require more regular hours and a commitment. For summer quarter, interns will be expected to work between 20-25 hours a week. Internships make excellent additions to any resume, and build skills and experience in the process.
