Frequently asked questions
How many internships are open right now?
22,800 internship, co-op and apprenticeship listings from 3,706 employers are live on UTern. They are read from employer career pages and applicant tracking systems, and a listing leaves the count once its stated deadline passes. See them by field, city and start term →
How many students want an internship and don't get one?
In 2023, an estimated 8.2 million learners wanted an internship and 3.6 million had the chance to do one, so more than half of those who wanted one went without. Source: Business-Higher Education Forum, Expanding Internships (2024), estimates for 2023. Read the BHEF report ↗
When do summer internship programs open?
Across 726 employers whose summer programs have been tracked in three or more recruiting cycles, the middle program is first listed on October 14. Finance and consulting often recruit close to a year ahead, and smaller employers keep posting through the spring. See the opening calendar →
How many internships close in the next two weeks?
95 live listings state an application deadline inside the next 14 days. Most listings state no deadline at all, so a role with no date can still close without notice.
How many internships say what they pay?
11,748 of 22,800 live listings (52%) state pay. That is a count of listings that say so, not an estimate of how many internships are paid. Browse internships that state pay →
Where does UTern's internship data come from?
Listings are read directly from employers' own careers sites and applicant tracking systems, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters and Workable, and refreshed every day. They are not resold from a job-board feed. The opening calendar comes from the dated history of the community internship tracker, and pay benchmarks from certified US Department of Labor filings.
Can I quote UTern's numbers?
Yes. Every figure on the statistics page is computed from a named dataset when the page is generated, and the date it was counted is printed with it. Quote it with a link back to the page. Internship statistics →
