Introducing FLASH internships, a new initiative designed to provide Skidmore students with one of a kind opportunities to fill the short-term needs of employers.
Through a FLASH internship, employers connect with Skidmore students to professionally complete projects needed for their businesses without needing to bring on a full-time intern or employee. These short-term, paid, remote opportunities can occur at any point in the year and allow students to build their concrete skills while employers receive a clearly defined benefit at a fixed cost.
Our first Flash internship is here! See below
