Hiring and HR Information/Requirements
Upon being matched with our program, each incoming intern must successfully verify their identity and complete the university's verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including, but not limited to, a criminal background check. Each matched intern will also be asked to submit their application information through the university's job portal to properly import their information into the university's hiring system. Student Life HR will coordinate and communicate with each incoming intern to facilitate the successful completion of the background check and onboarding process. Before seeing clients, all interns will complete online onboarding modules regarding university policies and procedures.
Administrative and Technical Support
CCS has 12 administrative positions, one of which is an administrative program assistant that is designated to the Training Program. This individual provides support to the program by managing the administrative aspects of the program. Interns are primarily responsible for their own correspondence and professional presentations, however, the program assistant will provide consultation support to them during the internship year. All intern offices are equipped with a computer, monitor, and video camera. Technical concerns are managed by the Student Life Technology department and interns can submit a request for assistance directly to this office.
