Can UCD Alumni apply for internships through the ICC?
Infrequently, special internships are available as well to UCD alumni. However, alumni may not participate in the internship program unless they are enrolled in a UCD degree program (graduate school; professional school).

The application procedure depends on the program area and on the internship within that area. Please check with a Student Advisor or Program Assistant for specific details. Our Receptionist can point you in the right direction. Some internships are based on lottery sign-ups without a resume while other internships require resume and interviews.

Our internship listings are on the web through AJL.

How long are your resume workshops? Can I just show up?
It is not necessary to sign up for workshops unless specifically noted. We do, however, recommend arriving a few minutes early since space is limited. All workshops are 50 minutes to 1 hour in length unless otherwise noted. See the Calendar/Program of Events for full details on our workshops.
