Internships

Thinking about your future? Put your education to work! No matter your field of study or level of degree, the WHA has internship opportunities suited to your talents that can prepare you to leap straight into your career after graduation day. Take your experience to the next level. We're talking real-world projects, training programs and everything you need to launch your career.

The WHA has well-developed internship programs serving students preparing for real careers. Our goal is to provide real-world, thought-provoking internships with hands-on experience. A WHA internship offers students a chance to get that real-world experience with ownership of projects from day one, as well as the opportunity to develop a network of contacts for the future. WHA supervisors encourage students to take the initiative and help formulate their internship into a program that truly meets their interests and professional development needs.

Our interns and apprentices participate in WHA programming and training, and are integrated into our day to day delivery of services to our clients. While our interns receive excellent training and supervision from us, we benefit from their energy, experience, and education – a win for everyone!

The WHA has internships and apprentice programs available in the following areas:

    - Custodial Apprentice Program
    Interested in a career in facilities? Learn the basics of building and grounds maintenance, facilities operation, care, and cleaning. Custodial Apprentices work with senior-level custodians gaining experience in landscape and building upkeep, appliance repair, and handyman skills.
    - Clerical Apprentice Program
    Clerks work behind the scenes to keep the office organized. Learn management of administrative tasks such as data gathering and entry, updating databases, copying, scanning, sorting, filing, and distributing documents, and greeting clients in person and on the phone.

In addition, other WHA departments are willing to work with you, or your student to provide internship hours that comply with degree requirements and provide professional experience, such as:

    - Social Services Internships
    - Human Resources Internships
    - Accounting/Finance Internships
