To make internships a viable option to more of our students, the College of Liberal Arts created the Job-Ready Summer Internship Award. This award provides up to $2,000 in financial support* to qualifying undergraduate students who choose to pursue summer internships off campus. Job-Ready aims to:

  1. Provide real-world opportunities that prepare Purdue Liberal Arts students for inspired careers and bold leadership.
  2. Encourage CLA students to pursue off-campus summer internships and to make unpaid and low-paid internships a viable option for more students.
  3. Enrich CLA students’ understanding of relevant issues and opportunities to be used in the world after graduation.
  4. Bring students’ critical skills to organizations addressing important issues while providing students with hands-on work experience.
  5. Provide employers with access to CLA students’ unique skills.
