Cohort Internships
Learn Together. Work with Purpose.
Cohort internships connect students who are working at different organizations but share a common theme, location, or focus area. These programs blend hands-on work with structural learning, reflection, and community.
Cohort internships often include:
- A shared academic or professional development experience
- Mentorship and guided reflection
- A strong sense of community and belonging
They are a powerful way to connect learning with work while building relationships with peers from diverse backgrounds.
Internship listings are available in Handshake. For general questions, email internships@middlebury.edu.
