Hiring Interns

If you are in need of interns, LIM College has students in a variety of programs to meet your needs. We have four required, for-credit internship programs. Or if you don’t require interns to receive credit, LIM College can offer a letter of support.

Our internship programs include:

Work Project I
Work Project I is ideal for companies with open retail positions.  All LIM College freshmen are required to complete this five-week, full-time (35 hours per week) program, which introduces students to a career in the fashion industry by providing them with basic retail store experience.

Interns receive three college credits for Work Project I. They are also required to complete a research paper, deliver an oral presentation and be visited on-site by an LIM College staff member.

Work Project I begins every year in mid-November and lasts through December 24.

Work Project II
All sophomores are required to complete the five-week, full-time (35 hours per week) Work Project II program. They may continue to develop retail experience at a managerial level, or work in a corporate environment in order to further explore aspects of the fashion industry that interest them.

Interns receive three college credits for Work Project II. They are also required to complete a research paper, deliver an oral presentation and be visited on-site by an LIM College staff member.

Work Project II begins every year in mid-November and lasts through December 24. 

Junior Work Project
Transfer students have the opportunity to complete this 175-hour, 3-credit internship program in either the Fall or Spring semester. Like Work Project II, students have the option to develop retail experience or work in a corporate environment. Students participating in Junior Work Project do not work full time, but will fulfill the 175 hour requirement in one semester according to your company’s needs and their availability.

Senior Co-Op
During the second semester of their senior year all LIM College students are required to participate in the Senior Co-op program. The Co-op is designed to provide students with a significant full-semester work experience in the fashion industry, ideally in an area relevant to their career goals and previous experience.

Interns work Monday through Thursday, full-time, for a total of 28 hours per week (excluding the lunch hour). Students are also required to attend classes on campus every Friday.

During the Senior Co-op interns must receive an on-site visit by an LIM College staff member and a final evaluation from their direct supervisor. This internship must be completed in the New York metro area because of the weekly Friday class requirement.

Other Internships
In addition to our required internship programs, LIM College students often seek part-time internships during the academic year or over the summer in order to gain additional fashion industry experience.
