An internship is a learning experience for a young adult, typically a college student, looking to work in a professional area to reflect their studies.
About Internships
Internships vary by department but Yale offers internships for high school students, college students, and recent graduates of college.
By hosting an intern, managers benefit from employing enthusiastic talent to work on timely projects and workload, gain supervisory skills, and tap potential future employees. By employing an intern, you also share work ethics and have the opportunity to educate.
