HASC members, consider hosting a College to Career Development Internship Program (CDIP) intern this summer. CDIP interns are high-performing college students and recent grads who bring value to host organizations through their hard work, fresh insights and passion for learning.
CDIP is a workforce development program sponsored by HASC and the Health Career Connection (HCC). The full-time, paid, project-based summer program recruits promising interns seeking health care careers.
Host an Intern
We are now accepting host applications for the CDIP 2025 summer cohort. In an ideal placement, host organizations and their preceptors (intern supervisors) provide hands-on learning experiences. Examples include shadowing key leaders, interviewing staff and stakeholders, and projects that help interns understand both the organization and the health sector.
CDIP interns provide value to host organizations through the projects they complete and their fresh insights, innovative thinking and enthusiasm to learn and engage. If you’d like to host an intern, please visit the CDIP web page for details and complete the Host Interest Form.
