UWM students work with employer partners in part-time internship positions
The work experiences in this program are learning experiences. Interns take an internship course for credit, or participate in structured co-curricular reflection opportunities. These experiences are aimed at the development of the Panther Edge competencies, helping students to be career ready and community minded.
Students in the program work between 8 to 15 hours per week for at least one semester and earn $15.50 per hour. Students must be eligible for federal work-study to participate in the program. The goal of the program is to create opportunities for students to earn their work-study award while also engaging in learning experiences related to professional and civic identity development.
