Solidify your career aspirations, open new doors, or explore career paths that you had not previously considered through the College’s Internship program. An internship is an opportunity for you to gain valuable hands-on experience under the careful supervision of an experienced professional. It is also an opportunity for you to step outside of your comfort zone, set your own goals and focus on your practical and professional education.
As part of its internship program, the College has developed partnerships with key institutions for consistent and regular internship placements of College of Idaho students. We also though encourage you to discover or develop your own internships and relationships – creating unique opportunities or connections that match your vision of your future.
Start exploring opportunities and planning for your career!

As part of a collaboration that has existed between the College and the Salmon River Clinic since 1975, Madeline Pentz ’28 and Nevaeh Williams ’28 share their experience interning at a rural health clinic in Stanley, Idaho, and how developing critical clinical skills has helped advance their aspirations to attend medical school.
Each summer, College faculty and students partner with the Wood River YMCA to bolster educational outcomes for children in Idaho’s Wood River Valley. Despite being a popular recreational, tourist-heavy destination, many families struggle economically, often resulting in their children falling behind their peers academically.
Your innovative spirit has propelled you this far. What’s next? That’s for you to dream, make, live and unleash at The College of Idaho. Come see what awaits you here.
