The Center for Digital Engagement (CDE) is offering a part-time, 10 hour per week paid internship in digital. The rate will be $20/hour

In addition to the paid part of the internship, you will obtain individual certification on an approved digital platform (for example, Google Analytics).

These activities are part of a mentoring program to prepare you for entering the digital workforce. Internship meetings will be hybrid
, both in-person in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area and online.

All higher ed students and recent graduates (graduated within 18 months) currently in or originally from Michigan are welcome to apply. We have had successful interns from a variety of regional and national institutions, including EMU, WCC, UM, MSU, WMU, CMU, Schoolcraft, Dartmouth College, and Columbia University, among others.

The key elements of the application are the statement of purpose and resume. Please take time to carefully review these items as everything you submit is taken into consideration. Even if all your jobs were part-time, they still demonstrate your commitment to showing up for work. Your statement of purpose will better help us understand what you think you can do.
