Position Descriptions
Internships
FIUTS offers unpaid internships 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 designed as learning experiences, and require regular hours and a commitment of a minimum of 6-10 hours a week for one quarter. Internships make excellent additions to any resume, and build skills and experience in the process. Most of our interns are international students who are ineligible for paid work in the U.S. but are still looking to gain professional experience in an office setting.
Typical daily tasks include:
Welcome each person that enters the FIUTS office and assist students in signing up for events
Answer questions from students and community members via email, phone, and in-person
Delegate and communicate with a small, collaborative team at the front desk
Enter data to help FIUTS evaluate our programs
Design graphics for FIUTS events

Special projects & additional tasks as assigned
Competitive applicants have strong communication skills, a flexible schedule, and a passion for the FIUTS mission.
If approved by an academic counselor, it is possible to earn credit for a FIUTS internship. For more information about receiving academic credit, consult your academic adviser and the FIUTS Executive Director. Internships with academic credit should be focused on a project that directly relates to your field of study or the class for which you will receive credit. Past interns have created projects related to event planning, public relations, non-profit management, technology, and finance.
