Portland Internship Experience
EMPLOYERS
Your small business, non-profit or organization can provide professional experience and mentorship to a University of Oregon student over the summer and you get to work with a bright mind who wants to help make a difference.
"Having a dedicated summer intern made drastic progress in the preservation of our archival history and moved key marketing projects forward. The Portland Internship Experience provided a guided avenue to engage a talented and passionate undergraduate student and allowed us to share the experience of working at a world-class cultural institution right here in Portland."
