Support Students. Gain Fresh Perspective. Build the Future Workforce.
Partner with Penn State Greater Allegheny Interns
Internships are a powerful way to develop new talent, bring energy and fresh ideas into your workplace, and support students as they take their first steps into the professional world.
At Penn State Greater Allegheny, our students come from diverse, often underrepresented communities — many are first-generation college students eager to learn, grow, and give back. Your mentorship and real-world experience could make all the difference.
Why Work With a Penn State Intern?
Hosting an intern isn’t just a nice thing to do—it’s a smart move. Here’s what you gain:
Fresh perspective from students trained in up-to-date skills and ideas
Real contributions to ongoing projects or new initiatives
Access to emerging talent you might want to hire later
Stronger community ties through collaboration with the Greater Allegheny campus.
What’s Expected of Internship Hosts?
Hosting an intern is simple, and we support you every step of the way. Here’s what you’ll do:
Offer a professional setting or project
Assign a supervisor or mentor to guide the student
Sign off on a learning agreement before the internship starts
Complete quick evaluations at the midpoint and end of the experience
That’s it. We’ll handle the paperwork, prep the student, and keep in touch.
