Internships

Potential employers are increasingly interested in hiring graduates who have had meaningful real-world human services experience. Hilbert has long recognized the need to prepare its human services students with hands-on, practical work experience while providing a valuable resource to public and private agencies and organizations.

Internships take place during the fall, spring, or summer semesters of your junior year. Unlike volunteer work, you will receive academic credit for your efforts. This is a unique opportunity to make an important contribution to an organization and to demonstrate your potential value as a full-time employee after graduation.
 

Benefits of an Internship

A human services internship provides you with the opportunity to:

  • Gain valuable human services work experience before graduating
  • Further explore your interest in the field
  • Clarify your interests, strengths, and identify skills you would like to improve
  • Find out about additional job possibilities
  • Develop your intellectual, problem-solving and leadership skills
  • Gain relevant experience and skills, giving you greater potential to be hired by the agency or organization where you intern
  • Network with professionals in the human services field
  • Gain a sense of self-confidence and professionalism
  • Bring classroom learning to life
  • Increase your job marketability in the human services field
  • Narrow your focus and clarify your career goals.

Internship Sites

Our community partners, representing a network of more than 50 local private and public agencies, offer an array of human services internships to our students.This includes alcohol and drug treatment centers, prevention programs, mental health programs, community social service agencies, child and family service agencies, and some school-based programs.
