Internship Program The InBaltimore internship program is designed to increase Johns Hopkins undergraduate students’ involvement in Baltimore City, and help strengthen our local community. This 10-week, subsidized internship program from the Life Design Lab at Homewood will bring talented students into local businesses and community organizations at no cost to the employer.

Up to 13 positions will be available. Deadlines for employers begin in spring. Employers will be able to interview and select candidates. As a commitment to our employers, students will receive ongoing professional development training throughout the internship process surrounding strategies for success and career planning.

EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS

  • Is my organization responsible for providing insurance or benefits to the intern? No, interns will be covered by their own health insurance.
  • How many hours will students work? Do they typically work five days a week? Interns are scheduled to work 30 – 40-hour work weeks, five days a week. Internships last 10 weeks, beginning in early June and ending in early August.
  • Am I required to pay students? Although you are not required to contribute to the $4,000 subsidized stipend JHU will pay interns, you may provide additional wages to students at your discretion.
  • What if my intern does not work out? Are there rules for terminating interns? In most cases, interns are treated as employees and therefore the same laws apply. It is advised that you consult with your Human Resources department.
  • I like my intern and would like to extend the internship, how do I go about this? This is at your discretion and you may continue an internship and/or extend an offer for future full-time employment once the internship has completed; however, JHU is under no obligation to pay interns beyond the 10 weeks of the program.
  • Can full-time employment be offered after the internship program has been completed? Yes, provided the student is graduating.
