PURPOSE
Helping out in the Human Resources office with needed tasks could
be converted into a work study position, which many offices in the
HUB currently do.
11 week program
BEGIN: May 21
END: August 6
Holidays/Dates Off: Memorial Day, 4th of July
These dates give 2 weeks after school ends & 2 weeks before the new
semester begins for vacations, relaxation, etc.
May 21-May 28 Introduction Week/Getting

Protocol/Learning programs
used/Onboarding/Ethical Foundations
Most juniors/seniors at Penn State live off campus, with most leases
going through mid-August (end date of August 6 should be fine)
If students dont have housing, student sublets are abundant for very
cheap prices
COMPENSATION
Unpaid internships would lead to a very weak talent pool for this
location over the summer
ROTATIONS
Hands on learning is how most survey respondents said they learn the
best, so getting exposure to each area would be important to intern
development
End of internship allows for one week for OHR staff to assign a project to
the intern for them to complete
Payroll submission
Job benchmarking
Pay scale benchmarking
Pay grade determination
RECOMMENDED TASKS: BENEFITS
Most students wont have to pay extra money for housing, giving them
extra incentive to consider this program
We hope this internship program will provide students and the Office
of Human Resources with valuable insight, knowledge, and support.
Thank You
