General internships at NJIT are work experiences that may be related to a student’s major and provide a learning experience.  Work assignments vary in length, and most often coincide with a semester or the summer. Assignments may be paid or unpaid. At the discretion of the employer, a travel or meal allowance may be given in lieu of wages. There is no formal faculty involvement in an internship, although a student may choose ton consult a faculty member for advice and perspective on the work assignment. Employers with internship positions may submit a job description.

NJIT Kauffman Entrepreneur Internship Program is an innovative approach for preparing students for business ownership.  Students work in paid entrepreneurial settings during the day.  In the evening they receive classroom instruction through a three credit course that presents the basics of starting a new venture.  The course concludes with the preparation and presentation of a business plan.  Undergraduate and graduate students in selected majors must meet eligibility requirements.
