Community Internship Program
The Community Internship Program affords Kenyon students the valuable opportunity to gain meaningful work experience during the academic year, and engage in learning with the greater Knox County community. Area employers host Kenyon students for structured internships for 5-10 hours per week during the academic year, having students take on professional projects that help to develop the skills needed to be successful at Kenyon and beyond. Community partners benefit from student ideas and creativity while gaining support on key operations.

Please note: The Career Development Office (CDO) regularly checks the academic and disciplinary statuses of students on behalf of campus and community partners. Failure to remain in good academic and disciplinary standing may negatively impact a student's application admissibility, employment status, and/or their ability to fully participate in internship offerings. In these cases, the CDO may reach out to students to discuss their application and/or employment eligibility.
