Full-Time Jobs
When posting a position, keep in mind current students/alumni are seeking professional experiences related to their degree. Career Services and Internships reserves the right to post/not post a position based on current students' and alumni needs. Our more competitive majors such as engineering often have full-time job offers one or more semesters before they graduate. Plan to post your jobs early and attend USI Career Events to reach these students.
Internships
Internships can be posted in the same manner as jobs.
Part-Time Jobs
Career Services and Internships coordinates a student employment referral program. We post your part-time or summer vacancies for registered students for your consideration. As always, there is no charge for this service.
Basis of Compensation
For employers to participate in our job postings or recruiting, they must offer bona fide positions that do not require new hires to pay a fee for training or other job-related expenses. Employers who compensate employees based solely on commission (i.e. without a base salary as well) must clearly disclose this information in the job description. Employers who compensate employees based on partial commissions must disclose accurate estimates of expected earnings in their job descriptions. They must also present an accurate base salary/expected first-year salary at that time.
Non-Discrimination Policy
The University of Southern Indiana makes its services available to employers who do not unlawfully discriminate in the selection of employees on the basis of national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.
Internships and cooperative education link the classroom with the workplace to provide an education with career relevance. The program provides students with direct, hands-on training, preparing them to enter the workforce with experience. Hosting a student intern can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved when the program is created and executed well.
- Internships should be related to a student's degree and flexible with their class schedule. Co-ops can be designed for full-time work with a break in a student's course schedule. Contact USI Career Services for more information. Review our Developing an Internship Program guide for specific details.
-
Employers who hire interns or co-op students reap many benefits including:
- Opportunity to evaluate a potential employee prior to making a long-term commitment
- Quality source of motivated workers
- Enhanced cost-effectiveness of recruitment and training methods to cover fluctuating personnel needs
- Enhanced relation with colleges and students
- Benefit from an intern's ingenuity, knowledge of technology, and desire to learn more about real-life work experiences
-
Early Graduates - Many students now enter college as a sophomore with dual credits earned in high school. Because of this, the year to graduate may be shorter than traditional timelines. Employers should keep this in mind and may want to consider freshmen or sophomores for internships that historically went only to upperclassmen.
-
Internship Time Frame - Most internships are for a set period of time and are part-time. Usually one semester or summer. It can be extended or renewed upon agreement of the employer and student. Co-ops are set up differently. Most of them are designed for students to work full-time during a semester and take a break from classes. The next semester the student will not work and will only take classes. Followed by another semester of full-time work and then a final semester of classes before graduating. This format can vary greatly depending on the industry and employer. A majority of the experiences available to students are internships, not co-ops.

A well-crafted and comprehensive job description not only attracts suitable candidates by presenting a transparent picture of the job's requirements and benefits but also aligns the hiring process with the company's values and goals. Edit the template below to include information about your company and the internship or job you wish to post.
An offer letter for an internship or job serves as a crucial document that signifies the official beginning of a professional journey, encapsulating the terms, conditions, and expectations of the engagement. Beyond its tangible representation of employment, an offer letter instills a sense of security and commitment for the candidate, outlining compensation details, work responsibilities, benefits, and potential growth opportunities. It establishes a clear understanding between the employer and the individual, ensuring a smooth transition into the new role and fostering a foundation of mutual trust and accountability.
