How does an employer start an internship at Clark University?
- Provide a Description: Create an internship description and send it to Career
Services at careers@clarku.edu. To maximize the chances that
your internship will be eligible for academic credit, see
employer responsibilities page
- Hire a Student: Students will be able to access your description and apply to
you directly. Employers are responsible for hiring their own
interns.

credit for the experience. If this is the case, there are a few guidelines and
responsibilities for your organization to follow. See the
employer responsibilities page. If the student does not pursue credit, all terms and
conditions are strictly between the employer and intern.
