Application Process

ITAP associates hold year-long, on-campus internships working closely with faculty and staff members.

1. The call for proposals is sent out early Spring Semester by email. Faculty and staff prospective hosts submit an application for an intern. ITAP staff review applications for hosting potential and will contact prospective hosts with questions as needed.
2. Once internship positions are selected, they are posted in the ITAP Classifieds. ITAP students will obtain their internships in a manner similar to a "real-world" job search. ITAP first-year, sophomore, and junior interns review the classifieds, posted sometime the first week after Spring Break, to identify positions for which they wish to apply. To apply for one of the internships listed, an intern submits application materials (cover letter, résumé, link to up-to-date ePortfolio, etc.) directly to the internship host. The intern may contact many hosts (we recommend 3-4) and interview for multiple positions. Similarly, an internship host may interview and consider as many associates as the host wishes.
3. Once an internship host has interviewed a candidate to whom the host would like to offer the position, the host informs the intern and Angie Smock (asmock@depauw.edu). An intern who is offered a position should respond either affirmatively or negatively to the host as soon as possible. If an intern needs additional time to consider an internship offer (or offers), the intern should make this request to the host promptly.

Position Acceptance

Once an intern has accepted an offer to fill a position, the intern and the host confirm their final agreement by filling out and signing a "Position Acceptance Form," which is available in the reception area of Julian 131 (in the brochure rack immediately inside the door). The intern is not considered hired by ITAP until that form is filled out and turned in to Angie Smock.

Apprentice Preparation

Apprentices will receive training for interviews in an interview workshop, a mock interview, and at an internship fair, which hosts attend. Before or during the interview process, the ITAP administrators will gladly meet with any ITAP intern who would like assistance in the process of searching and securing an internship.
