Believe it or not: It is actually now time to start applying & interviewing for 2024 summer internships! Companies get budgets for internships approved months ahead of time & they often recruit nationally for the best talent. Some want to get this wrapped up by the end of the year, but you have to start looking now. Do not wait until Spring 2024 to find a Summer 2024 internship. Note, around ½ my students line up summer internships in the Fall & the other ½ during the Spring (so, it’s never too late).

Should current students negotiate an INTERNSHIP offer (i.e., a higher salary)? Yes, since many orgs are offering students 20–30% below market value. The avg supply chain internship is $44,918/yr, or $21.6/hr. People on the lower end, bottom 10%, make $37K/yr ($17.80/hr), while the top 10% makes $54K ($25.96/hr). Over half our students are making over $20/hr. I firmly believe the program avg is around 20–22/hr.
