YPSILANTI – The Eastern Michigan University Center for Digital Engagement is once again providing invaluable opportunities for advancement and learning by offering 48 Digital Summer Clinic paid internship positions.

Applications are welcome from all college students and recent graduates. Those interested can apply by April 30 through the Digital Summer Clinic website. The internships help college students and recent grads from Southeastern Michigan find careers in various digital industries.

The internships will run for nine weeks, beginning in mid-June and ending in mid-August. Internships are planned to take place remotely with potential to engage in-person, conditions permitting. The Digital Summer Clinic Internship offers practical experience in digital marketing and tech, the opportunity to connect with mentors and industry professionals, and guidance in developing a professional portfolio. Clinic interns span a broad range of majors, including Computer Science, Business, Communications, Media Arts, and more—and projects routinely span all of these majors. 

Interns will work 10 hours per week and will be paid $15.51 per hour. Working in teams of two with companies housed in Ann Arbor SPARK’s high-tech incubator, interns will work on a wide variety of projects that range from developing websites and apps to content creation (written, graphic, photography, video), social media, and advertising.

Seventy-five percent of interns that participate in the internship program move on to jobs in the Southeastern Michigan high-tech economy with firms such as General Motors, iProspect, Career Now Brands, Google and more.

The Digital Summer Clinic is funded by Ann Arbor SPARK and provided as a service by Eastern Michigan University’s Center for Digital Engagement. For more information on the Digital Summer Clinic, or to apply for an internship position, visit the Digital Summer Clinic website.
