Intern Opportunities

Staff The UFMC interns play a critical role in developing and maintaining our programs and services. Interns learn job-related skills and the importance of working in a team environment.

Although interns are hired with a specific job function, much of the work they do expands beyond the job description. Interns are expected to collaborate and assist with other projects when needed. Interns receive role specific training, as well as training focusing on identity and leadership development.
