The selected candidates will begin in January 2023. The committee meets typically bi-weekly, typically every other week from noon-1pm. Additional meetings are held depending on planning efforts. The interns will be expected to call in for the bi-weekly committee meetings whenever possible and any additional meetings that are necessary.

The application criteria is as follows:
- Must be a college student attending a Michigan university or college. Preference may be given to a student who is in their junior or senior year.
- Major or minor areas of study should be human resources or another study related to the nature of the work of human resources. If applying for the IT Internship, please provide a description of the IT work you have performed and how that work relates to an event such as Michigan HR Day.

The selected candidate will be based on their resume, cover letter writing, as well as communication and presentation skills in the video. The video sample in the application should be no longer than 5 minutes and focus on the following: (1) What drives you to pursue a career in the field of Human Resources.
