Eligibility
You must be a current enrolled undergraduate student at Columbia College, The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science or the School of General Studies and be able to commit to working 10-20 hours per week for ten or more weeks in internship.
Students who are studying abroad are encouraged to apply. Interviews will be conducted over the phone. Please indicate that you are studying abroad in your cover letter.
How to Apply
All CCIA 2010 internships will be posted in LionSHARE in the On-Campus Recruiting (OCR)section during the Fall 2009 semester on a rolling basis after September 29. In order to get access to OCR, you must complete the Policies and Procedures form. Please note that it takes up to 48 business hours to receive access.
Once you have OCR access and are logged into LionSHARE, go to the On-Campus Recruiting section and click on "Apply for schedules I qualify for" and search for "CCIA" in the "Job Title" box to view positions. You may apply to up to two (2) positions of interest.
There are four required components to the application:
- CCIA application form: (this form only needs to be submitted once, however you must submit this form even if you are applying to only one position)
- Resume
- Cover Letter
- Transcript (can be unofficial). Please note that if you are a first year student and do not have a transcript, please indicate this on your cover letter or in a separate document, with an expected date of when you will be able to submit your transcript.
