Petitions

Petitions for Current Student

A current student who would like to intern at their place of employment must complete a petition to request to intern with that agency. The employer must also adhere to the SJSU guidelines and policies. It is important to note that the employee’s paid role must be separate from the internship role. The Field Office cannot guarantee approval in advance because of different variables that may exist. In addition, there is not a guarantee that your agency will be approved. Students may only intern at their agency of employment with an approved petition for one internship but not both.
