Digital Summer Clinic Intern
Applications for the 2025 CDE Summer Clinic internship open February 4, 2025.
Apply to be part of the 2025 Digital Summer Clinic internship. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 25, 2025. We will interview the weeks of May 5 and May 12 with decisions by Memorial Day. The internship is scheduled to run from June 9 through August 8. The internship is hybrid, including both online and in-person activities in Southeast Michigan (mainly centered on Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti).
The Center for Digital Engagement (CDE) is offering a part-time, 10 hour per week paid internship in digital. Pay will be $19/hour. The paid internship is for 9 weeks, running from June 9 to August 8. As an intern, you will work in a team of two with start-up companies in the Ann Arbor SPARK Incubator. In addition to the paid internship, you will also be required to gain individual certification on an approved digital platform (for example, Google Analytics). Finally, in addition to the paid internship, you will attend weekly coaching sessions and all-hands meetings related to the work you are doing. We have designed this set of activities to prepare you well to enter the digital workforce and to gain mentors.
Applications are welcome from all higher ed students and recent grads (within 18 months) in Southeast Michigan (either from Michigan or going to school in Michigan). In the past, successful interns have come from a variety of regional and national institutions including EMU, WMU, WSU, WCC, UM, MSU, and Columbia University, as well as others. If you are a higher ed student or recent grad in Southeast Michigan interested in digital, we invite you to apply.
We welcome applications from US citizens, green card holders, and all foreign nationals who can be authorized to work in the United States. To participate in the internship as a foreign national, your work authorization must be valid from June 9 to August 10.
Please take care with your statement of purpose and resume. We look at it all. Even if all of your jobs have been retail or other part time, they show your commitment to showing up for work. Your statement of purpose will help us understand what you think you can do. Be daring and go for it. The worst that can happen is that we don't offer you the internship.
