• through student employment
• through temporary employee hiring
• directly through the internship partner in which you will have to complete their hiring paperwork

A team from SLI will work with the project mentors/ supervisors to review applications and then select candidates. Finalists may be contacted for an interview depending on the project. Review the Project Catalog for more details. Students may get more than one offer but can only accept one project. Final decisions will be made by end of May.
