The Go Intern! Program (formerly the Career Development Internship Program (CDIP)) gives interested students a chance to gain real-world experience in a structured internship while earning credit.
Go Intern! enables students to gain professional experience, develop skills, explore career fields, and contribute to the missions and goals of professional organizations, all while earning academic credit. Go Intern! engages students in truly rewarding internship experiences by having them take on new and challenging projects, document their career development in writing, and conduct career-related informational interviews.
Many greater Eugene area internship sites have been pre-approved to host interns. Current approved sites are listed below. Internships may also be developed with other sites – review criteria below for further information. Contact the Career Center at (541) 346-6003 to arrange for a consultation with a Career Counselor or the Go Intern! program coordinator to get specific site supervisor contact information for approved sites.
Students interested in enrolling in Go Intern! should review the program/internship criteria [11], stop by the Career Center, or contact the Go Intern! Program directly at (541) 346-6003 or by email at career@uoregon.edu [12].
