Accelerated Internship Program

  • Because of athletic commitments, it can be difficult for some student-athletes to complete traditional summer internship programs.
  • The Accelerated Internship Program allows student-athletes and business to work together on an alternative timeline throughout the calendar year.
  • Application information will be shared with all student-athletes following a planning call and verification process with the participating business.
  • Businesses interested in participating can email ssacareer@udel.edu to get started.
