Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the internship. However, these deliverables must be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of the internship. A primary objective of this internship placement is to have students integrated into the workplace's culture, which will enhance the networking capabilities of both the student, and the organization.

We are a relentless innovator and a force for equity, and our commitment to women’s success goes far beyond teaching a checklist of competencies.

Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
I understand that these experiences require ongoing support and mentorship to students throughout the internship. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact no less than once a week.
I understand that as part of the Bay Path University internship program, organizations will complete a Learning Contract prior to the start of the internship. This process will be assisted and facilitated by members of the BPU internship program.
Please provide a dedicated contact (name and email) who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup.
