During the internship, students will engage in one or more projects tailored to your organization's needs, offering fresh perspectives and innovative solutions. Their interaction with your team will be seamless and effective, thanks to their proficiency in virtual communication tools.
Bay Path is committed to providing an inclusive, career-focused education to women from diverse backgrounds. By offering our senior students this placement opportunity, you're contributing to their professional growth and gaining access to a pool of talented individuals eager to apply their academic learning to practical challenges. They are ready to start at any time, and while paid experiences are preferred, they are not mandatory. Please specify the nature of the internship (paid or unpaid) in your proposal.
Invite Bay Path University students into your workplace and witness the positive impact they can make in advancing your organization's goals in the Health and Natural Sciences sector.
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the internship. However, these deliverables must be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of the internship. A primary objective of this internship placement is to have students integrated into the workplace's culture, which will enhance the networking capabilities of both the student, and the organization.
Bay Path University offers unique programming for women of all ages seeking bachelor's degrees. We are a relentless innovator and a force for equity, and our commitment to women’s success goes far beyond teaching a checklist of competencies. By partnering with Bay Path University, you'll be able to directly contribute to this growth and make a large impact.
Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
I understand that these experiences require ongoing support and mentorship to students throughout the internship. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact no less than once a week.
I understand that as part of the Bay Path University internship program, organizations will complete a Learning Contract prior to the start of the internship. This process will be assisted and facilitated by members of the BPU internship program.
Please provide a dedicated contact (name and email) who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup.
