University Career Services (UCS) is recruiting for a micro-internship, the Student Engagement Undergraduate Intern, as soon as possible. Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or traditional interns. These projects enable undergraduate students to develop and demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their network as they seek the right full-time role.
The Student Engagement Intern will work remotely with support from UCS staff. They will be responsible for conducting student market research, building connections with campus partners, creating, promoting, and summarizing surveys to help inform and promote student engagement in career development programming. The ideal candidate will be a current undergraduate UNL student, passionate in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), creative, detail oriented, and dedicated to providing outstanding work.
The intern will:
- Research the needs and preferences of first generation and historically underserved students related to their career development, specifically, the elements which will engage them in career development programming including format, content, and timing
- Create, administer, and summarize surveys to inform planning of student career development programming
- Connect and collaborate with campus partners to recruit survey participants
- Conduct 1:1 interviews with leaders of relevant Recognized Student Organizations
- Develop report on research, making recommendations for career development programming
- Collaborate with the UCS Career Advisor for First Generation and Underserved Students to develop program outlines for Spring 2022
The Student Engagement Intern will work approximately 15 total hours during 2022 Spring semester and will be paid $200 upon completion of the project.
