Internships and cooperative education link the classroom with the workplace to provide an education with career relevance. The program provides students with direct, hands-on training, preparing them to enter the workforce with experience. Hosting a student intern can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved when the program is created and executed well.

Employers who compensate employees based solely on commission (i.e. without a base salary as well) must clearly disclose this information in the job description. Employers who compensate employees based on partial commissions must disclose accurate estimates of expected earnings in their job descriptions. They must also present an accurate base salary/expected first-year salary at that time.

Non-Discrimination Policy

The University of Southern Indiana makes its services available to employers who do not unlawfully discriminate in the selection of employees on the basis of national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.
