Humanities+ is seeking employers from various sectors to host 200-hour+ SUMMER internships for our students.
PLEASE NOTE: Internships MUST either be PAID (at least min.wage / Level UP) or take place within a non-profit organization. Unfortunately, any other unpaid opportunities cannot be considered at this time.
Benefits:
- Wage subsidies – Employer partners may be eligible for a Magnet SWPP wage subsidy (50% - 70% of the student’s wage.)
- Talent recruitment – Interns have received 50+ hours of training in digital skills and professional skills.
- Uniquely valuable employees - Our impassioned interns have unique and skill sets. They are driven, insightful, and imaginative, and will bring NEW ideas to the challenges your team faces.
