The Queen’s Undergraduate Internship Program (QUIP) provides students with a 12-16 month accredited work experience. QUIP internships are paid, professionally supervised, career-related positions designed to offer second or third-year students the opportunity to learn about current advances, practices, and technologies in business and industry.
Why choose to do a QUIP internship?
- Add “Professional Internship” designation to your degree
- Take a break from academics and test drive a career in your field of interest
- Build the skills employers really want from new grads
- Apply QUIP for credit in place of one of your technical/free electives to lighten the course load of your final year (policy varies by department)
- Make valuable business/industry contacts to build your professional network
- Earn a full salary while retaining student status (implications for scholarships, financial aid, and insurance)
- Return to Queen's with an impressive resume and have more experience to start your post-graduation job search
Why Register for QUIP?
- Access – get exclusive access to the QUIP job board and 150+ cross-industry employers hiring students for start dates in May, September, and January
- Flexibility - you decide when you want to start, which opportunities to apply to, and which offers to accept
- Support - gain access to internship job search skill development, one-on-one advising, and more with a dedicated team of QUIP coordinators
