Intern for a Day Spring 2022

Intern for a Day, through the University of Maryland University Career Center & The President's Promise, connects current undergraduate UMD students with alumni, parents, and employers for short-term job shadowing opportunities to explore potential career fields. They typically place 300-400 students with professionals each semester!

Due to the omicron variant, they will offer two options for Intern for a Day this semester:

• In-person job shadowing: half day or full-day experiences for students (seeking professionals locally in DMV-area).
• Virtual informational interviews: 1-hour virtual informational interviews to give students good insight into your background, current work and industry (seeking professionals globally).

How Does Intern for a Day Work?
UMD students complete a mandatory online orientation to prepare them for the experience and apply to the program with their top professionals of interest (based on the description you provide!)
The University Career Center matches the students with the professionals most of interest to the student and makes the introduction. Matching is expected to be complete by mid-March 2022.
