The ILR Credit Internship Program is a unique academic and experiential learning opportunity for undergraduate students. As a professional program, the ILR Credit Internship provides students the chance to partner with an organization focused on the field of work and workplace relations. Internship sponsors are required to offer professional quality experiences that are closely monitored by our program, ensuring students not only receive professional but also academically enriching experiences.
Each semester we routinely place dozens of eligible students with corporations, trade unions, labor and employment law firms, appropriate legislative bodies and other public agencies at every level of government, and a wide array of advocacy organizations associated in one way or another with issues of work and workplace relations.
Students are approved to take part in the program only after meeting academic and other standards imposed by faculty legislation. They are eligible to apply only after completing the first two years of our four-year undergraduate curriculum, a requirement that assures every intern has taken most, if not all, of the courses that comprise the core of our instructional program.
