Career Services offers GENS 399 to students who wish to earn up to three credits from an internship. Faculty and staff can refer students to our office to register for this course.
We can provide evaluations for any student internship through Skillsurvey. Leveraging the proven behavioral science and job competency modeling of SkillSurvey’s HR technology, SkillSurvey Career Readiness™ is the first consistent method to obtain feedback from supervisors and coworkers following work-related experiences using behaviors mapped, in partnership with the National Association of Colleges and Employers, to the eight NACE competencies. Career Services can help integrate this evaluation process into your department internship program. We can also assist with developing an internship program for your major. Contact us for more details or call 812-464-1864.
If you are aware of a student who has recently done or is doing an internship, we ask that you instruct them to self-report it on USI Career Launch using this link. Report Your Internship. Faculty who supervise internships can view student self-reported internships through the Career Launch if the student lists you as their faculty supervisor on the Career Launch online internship form. To request an internship or career outcome report for your department, please contact USI Career Services.

- Hiring supervisors should be covering the job functions for their opening with every student worker candidate they interview.
- After covering those functions, hiring supervisors should pose the following question:
- “Can you perform all the functions, with or without accommodation?”
- The answer should be a yes or no and isn’t meant to start a conversation about a disability or potential accommodations needed. The hiring supervisor can interject and explain that if needed.
- It’s best practice to ask the student to notify the hiring supervisor (or whoever is setting the interview), to notify them if they need accommodation for their interview.
- If they do need an interview accommodation, please have them reach out to Human Resources or 812-464-1840.
- If a student is hired and states that they may need accommodation during the selection process or once hired, the hiring supervisor should put them into contact with Chelsea Nall, ADA Coordinator, at 812-465-7101.
