Summer or Fall Internships: GT Division of Professional Practice

See news flash at http://www.gtip.gatech.edu/Newsflash.php


1) Summer or Fall Internships: It’s not too late to look for a summer internship!

To get started, create a new student intern account on our job database, P2D2, attend an upcoming Intern Orientation (every Thursday through April 21 from 11AM-Noon in the Student Success Center), and then meet with a DoPP advisor for resume and job search assistance.

2) Registering a Summer Internship: If you have accepted a summer internship, don’t miss the chance to register your internship with DoPP! Any internship - regardless of how you found it - can be registered with DoPP as long as it is related to your major and at least 10 weeks in length.

Registering your internship will allow you to gain the following benefits:

· Allows you to register for a free audit-credit internship course, which does not affect financial aid or scholarships, including HOPE.

· Ensures that your internship appears on your GT transcript.

· Causes you to maintain full-time student status and ensures that you maintain your health insurance coverage.

· Provides you with documents to help you set goals and obtain feedback from your internship supervisor.

· Allows academic department to know where their students are interning which often results in more future internship opportunities.


To Register Your Internship: Schedule a meeting using P2D2 or contact your intern advisor. Our intern advisors, Mary Fisher and Ann Blasick, each work with specific majors; be sure to contact the advisor assigned to your major. Please note that your intern advisor will need a copy of your offer letter or offer email.



The last day to register a summer internship is the end of Phase II Registration, May 20, but don’t wait until the last minute.
